Virtual devices don’t have to be one-and-done assignments although they can be. Likewise, if you have a disc you use frequently, mounting an image you store locally can be more convenient as well as perhaps avoid wear and tear on the original disc, which you can keep somewhere safe. This can be particularly convenient when you have a disc image that you’ll only use once or twice, so you avoid wasting a disc. This has a number of applications, but perhaps the most common for the average user is that you can access a disc image without burning it to disc. Mounting an image essentially means reading a file, but the difference is that the virtual CD-ROM, for instance, is reading that file as physical CD-ROM would read a physical CD, and Windows interacts with that virtual CD-ROM just as it would a physical version. The most common of these devices are virtual drives, such as a virtual CD or DVD. DAEMON Tools is a Windows program that lets you create virtual devices and mount images on them.ĭAEMON Tools is an application that lets you create, manage and use virtual devices.
