How to mount an ISO in XP
-
As per this discussion: http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?select=613183&exp=5&fr=16#xx613183xx[^] It was suggested to take my first VS.NET 2002 CD, rip it to an ISO, copy the ISO to my development machine, and then mount it as a removable drive... so I can do the verification to install VS.NET 2003 via my LAN. I have created the ISO, and have it on my development machine, but I have been unable to find a tool that will allow me to mount it as a removable drive (I'm running XP). "MDeamon" was suggested, but I can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Oh, sorry, you meant Windows XP. I use the free VaporCD, but some friends of mine had trouble working with it (it's not the most user-friendly software on the world - be sure to read the docs): http://vaporcd.sourceforge.net You can do it on anything you choose - from .bat to .net - A customer

That's great (downloaded and just tried it out) but exactly how does it map an ISO image into a removable drive (e.g. a drive letter)? I can't see that it does that. :confused:
:doh: Thought for sure ISOBuster did that... You could always download the demo for Drive Image[^]...
