Never heard of VCC - I take its as easy to use as Daemon...guess I could download and try before the 'Let me google that for you' crew come out

It's as easy, and far higher rated.

Or you could try the current version of Virtual Clone Drive, http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html

I don't understand this thread.

Daemon Tools is free and it has worked on Windows x64 for years. It also just happens to be the best at what it does too.

yeah what nathanE said.

Also i use magic iso personaly.

This does an awesome job.

I use it for mounting ISOs for DVDs, but VLC Does that natively - a good thing to have installed thought.

Aye.

You did grab the x64 version, didn't you ? Because the 32 bit version would obviously give issues...

just double click the ISO, it's default app will be Clone Drive.

It doesn't mount mds/mdf though.

atpbx · 13 May 2009 at 11:52
