Every now and again I need to use an ISO image of a CD or DVD. I’ve tried various approaches (burning to a physical disk, mounting on a Virtual PC when I’ve had one available, using the Microsoft’s Virtual CD Control Panel) in the past but to be honest they’ve all been a bit of a pain.
So I was really pleased when I found this free app, which seems to just work without any fuss. I’ve used it on both my Vista machines (desktop and laptop) and it does exactly what it’s supposed to, quicker and easier than I expected.
This is especially useful if you have a laptop or netbook without an optical drive, or if you prefer not to use the optical drive to save battery power. You can create ISO images of your discs (plenty of software is available to do that part), store them on your hard drive, and never need to carry a CD or DVD with you again. Provided, of course, you have enough free disk space!
