There are several problems I’ve found  while  mounting .ISO/.IMG/.BIN etc  CD/DVD image files in windows vista. Well know Daemon Tools claims to be working on windows vista 32 bit and 64 bit versions but it’s not entirely correct because some of the CD/DVD image files appear to be corrupted after loading. Also it is risky to install daemon tools now because they are installing few search bar tools.  Alternatively I’ve tried out SlySoft’s Virtual Clone Drive, which also have the similar problems, it can mount the images but some of the files appears to be corrupted. At last I’ve Installed MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM(MagicDisc), a freeware multiple CD/DVD emulation utility and it worked on all the CD/DVD Images I’ve tried on. I didn’t try PowerISO or UltraISO yet.

    I somehow found it useful, however it would be great if it can be elaborated more on how to mount the files with Windows

    Magic Disc badly corrupted my Win7 64-bit pro installation. Locked computer up even in safe mode. Had to boot into Paragon Hard Disk manager, erase the magicdisc folder and then rebuild the master boot record before I could get my computer back to the way it was. Incidentally, I received a Win7 message warning me about incompatibility but I ignored it because of the good reviews on this site.

    AVOID this; use Daemon Lite or another. If you really want to use it, image your HDD first.
