Vista Tip: Mount ISO (DVD, BIN, IMG,CCD, ETC.) images in Vista for free
Sep 22nd
Have you been a busy little bit-torrenter lately?
Do you have tons of ISO’s laying around? Trying to mount them in Vista like you were used to in XP and not having any luck?
Our reader Tom in Wisconsin is and this sounds like a job for dum dum dum (key theme music)… AskTheAdmin!
Well it turns out the freeware utility offered from Microsoft to mount ISO Images doesn’t work in Windows Vista. Thankfully there’s another free utility that does work.
The utility that we will use is called Virtual Clone Drive. This utility will let you mount .ISO, .CCD, .DVD, .IMG, .UDF and .BIN files. Download the utility and start the setup process.
Select Yes or OK at the hardware prompt and continue. You might have to restart your computer. Now you should be able to mount any ISO image by just double-clicking on the file.
Note: If you are going to reinstall this utility, make sure you uninstall it first, or you’ll BSOD yourself repeatedly.
Double Note: This utility does not work on Windows Vista 64 bit edition.
