DAEMON Tools Homepage :: Download

This is a utility that allows you to mount ISO images. Once mounted you they act just like a CD-ROM.

Looks like they wrote it to help with gaming (I know I hate having to hunt down a CD-ROM just to start a game...) but will work just as well for the ISO images Microsoft now uses on MSDN...

I'm still playing with it... I'll post if I can get it to work...

Update (9/10/2003): This works great... The trick is that you need to make a 1:1 copy of any copy protected CD-ROMS you want to host. So for example I no longer have to hunt down my Battlefield 1942 CD-ROM because I've 1:1 ISO'ed it to my local HD and have the ISO mounted with Daemon tools. Now my son and I don't have to play the "Swap the CD" game... :)
The Help file is critical to understanding how to best use this tool.
