I have an iso file on my hard drive.

Are there any free/opensource softwares to mount iso files?

I use Windows as my OS.

I use Virtual CloneDrive

Virtual CloneDrive works and behaves just like a physical CD/DVD drive, however it exists only virtually.

  • Supports all common image formats such as ISO, BIN, CCD
  • Supports up to 8 virtual drives at the same time
  • Easy to use - just double-click an image file to mount as a drive
  • Virtual CloneDrive is freeware, you may use it at no cost.

I used to use Daemon Tools but stopped when the download began to include ad-ware.

You're missing the final "l" on that link. – T.J. Crowder Jun 1 '10 at 15:10

Daemon Tools is probably the best on Windows.

I used to use Daemon Tools but gave up when the installer got more and more bloated. Switched to Virtual CloneDrive about a year ago and find it much easier to use. – Shevek Jun 1 '10 at 15:06

+1 for VirtualCloneDrive. Daemon Tools is junk. – churnd Jun 1 '10 at 16:17
It's good once you get it installed without all the junk, but yeah, VirtualCloneDrive is certainly not bad either. – Christoffer Madsen Jun 1 '10 at 17:24

BIN              (CDRWin)

IMA/IMG          (Generic disk images)

CIF              (Easy CD Creator)

NRG              (Nero - Burning ROM)

IMG/CCD          (CloneCD)

MDF/MDS          (Fantom CD)

Microsoft has a tool for it, which I found via this post, the direct link here.

Th MS tool is not very user friendly - you cannot double click to mount images and there is no readily available front end - you have to go to the Control Panel every time you want to mount – Shevek Jun 1 '10 at 16:23
