Requirements: Virtual Drive Tools
Level: Beginner
I have been asked quite a number of times on how to run ISO, cue or bin files. These are images, and when mounted on a virtual drive will act like a CD/DVD. So to run or access the files on the images, you'll need a virtual drive tool. There are a few out there, the more popular ones being:
For these programs, after installation and restart the first thing you need to do is to create a virtual drive. This drive will be similar to your CD-ROM drive as you see it in My Computer. Once the virtual drive is created, you can start to mount the image. Find for an option to mount the image, and choose the image file. Once mounted, you can access the image as your drive. Just access My Computer and you should see a new drive there. For example is you have one hard drive (C:) and one CD-ROM (D:), after creating the virtual drive you should have an additional drive, let's say (E:).
The basic idea is like that, for a deeper understanding on virtual drive emulation, go to
