Mount ISO image at Windows Vista using Virtual Clone Drive and Daemon Tools
Windows utility from Microsoft doesn’t able to mount ISO image at Windows Vista at this moment. But there is an alternative application called Virtual Clone Drive and Daemon Tools that you can use for mount an ISO images at Windows Vista. Both this utilities allow you mount .ISO, .CCD, .DVD, .IMG, .UDF and .BIN files. Download the utility and start the setup process.
For Virtual Clone Drive. Mount an ISO images cab been done within few step only. To add an extra virtual drive, launch or start Virtual Clone Drive. Select the number of drives that you want to mount.
When you double-click on an ISO image, it will always mount it in the first drive. If you want to mount a particular ISO in one of the other virtual drives, Select the particular ISO and right-click on the drive to select Virtual Clone Drive -> ” Mount ” option.
If you want to unmount a drive, you can do the same thing but choose the Unmount option.
For Daemon tools, Mount an images as below step:
- Right-click on the DAEMON Tools trayicon
- Select Virtual CD/DVD-ROM
- Select Device [?:]
- Click Mount
- Browse and select the image you wish to mount
- Click OK or double-click on the file to mount
Unmounting an image:

Please beware that Virtual clone drive and Daemon tools seem like does not workable on Windows Vista 64 bit edition.
Hope you enjoy the tips !!! Perhaps you can let me know other mounting application can been workable at Windows Vista

“Windows utility from Microsoft seem like doesn’t able mount ISO image at Windows Vista so far. Perhaps is not compatible at this moment.”

In Deamon Tool, I can’t show the Drive in My Computer. It accepts 0: 1: 2: etc… How to browse the mounted CD/DVD Image?

who cares if they write correct english , thanks to who ever wrote this direction, and who is complaining configure your own way to do this steps . . . . yea thats what i thought smart @$$
Good stuff. Thanks
i did all these steps but when i try open the drive in my computer i get an error message saying
“the disc might be corrupt. make sure that the disc uses a format that windows recognizes. if the disc is unformatted you need to format it before using it” and i have no clue wot 2 do
need help..
@Gazza,
Perhaps the disk contains unrecognize format files that windows can’t be detect. Perhaps you can provides us what is the file extension inside the disk
i have the same problem but there is no files on the drive (obviously) and the file mounted is an .iso of a normal instalation cd. so theres bound to be files ‘in’ the iso that windows doesnt recognise.
any ideas?
thx
