How to mount a DVD image file?I just downloaded the Windows Vista SDK, as .img DVD image file.
Now I would like to use it! Is it possible to mount it without burning a DVD? Not sure if Vista offers native image mounting, but Porgrams like nero,
Daemon tools and Alcohol 120 offers image mounting support Show quote "Lloyd Dupont" <net.galador@ld> wrote in message news:uTqybWCbHHA.3420@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >I just downloaded the Windows Vista SDK, as .img DVD image file. > Now I would like to use it! > Is it possible to mount it without burning a DVD? yep, I used Alcohol 52%, thanks!
Apparently Daemon tool works too. But I didn't see the 64 bits version the 1st time I visited their web site. Show quote "Dale M.

Not natively, but I believe Daemon tools will work. -- Show quoteBest of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Lloyd Dupont" <net.galador@ld> wrote in message news:uTqybWCbHHA.3420@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >I just downloaded the Windows Vista SDK, as .img DVD image file. > Now I would like to use it! > Is it possible to mount it without burning a DVD?

CDRom. I couldn't get it past all the security hoops. I have since turned UAC off and it works ok. If I turn UAC back on, the Virtual CDRom control panel lets me create a drive or drives, X,Y, and Z but they don't show up in Computer or Explorer ??. Running Home Premium. .. You can safely rename Microsofts img to iso, which is more common.
Then you can burn it to physical DVD or you can mount it with Virtual Image Drive . http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html Slysofts virtual clone drive is free, simple and it works with Vista, you will have a new Drive Icon under "Computer". Just right click and tell it what image to load. Works with CDs and DVDs. You even can install Vista or Longhorn Server that way.

I second Virtual Clone Drive. I use it regularly and to date it has had no
problems with Vista. Some of the others have been a bit flaky in the earlier releases I have used (they may be fine now tho.) John G.
