Virtual Sheep Iso Mount
This application can be really useful if you have downloaded or created CD or DVD images and you need to test them before burning them.Virtual CloneDrive creates a virtual unit where you can load CD's and DVD's as if you were putting them in the tray.Once you run it, it works exactly as a real drive unit, in fact it appears as a CD/DVD unit in My PC folder.In short, if you usually burn CD's and DVD's, now you can test the content before burning them. Save money on discs, and if you have a big HD, you can load images without having to search for the discs, just load image on the virtual drives and enjoy.
Mount disk images as virtual drivesVirtual CloneDrive enables you to mount ISO, BIN and CCD disk images into a virtual CD/DVD drive, allowing you to use the disk images as if the CD or DVD was inserted into the drive. Mounting a disk image is as easy as double-clicking the file in Windows Explorer and you can quickly access recently mounted images from the history menu.
Virtual Clone Drive can mount up to 8 virtual drives at the same time.Copyright Snapfiles.comFYI: This program offers to install promotional or third party software.Installation of these components is optional but you should pay attention during setup to avoid installing unwanted software. I've used other programs which take various forms of disk images ISO, img, BIN, etc., including paid software.
They were okay, but this is better. It creates either a permanent or temporary 'virtual' CDDVD drive on your system. I'm able to take all my driver disks, and using a separate program like ImgBurn and save them in ISO format to my hard drive. That's where SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive comes in. If I ever need to access the disk, such as to copy or reload drivers, I don't need to find the disc. I find the ISO file and SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive mounts the ISO file to Windows as if it were the original CDDVD.
Obviously read times are way faster than a real CDDVD. Note that this also works for any kind of drive image, including movies you can save as ISO file, so you can mount movie or music CDDVDs with their ISO files. Also, because the system thinks it's a real CD drive, you can reassign the drive letter in the Computer Management Console just like a normal DVD drive.
Quite incredible performance and functionality; plus you get the option to automatically remount the ISO file on reboot. The program resides in the system tray. There is no extensive help, it's not hard to understand and is nearly automatic. For the curious, you cannot 'write' to the virtual drive since this duplicates a real burned CDDVD. Other ISOdisk image programs can manipulate iso files outside of Virtual CloneDrive, which has never failed me yet.Review details. Interface.

Posted Jan 12, 2011 for v5.4.4.0. Virtual Clone Drive is a handy thing to have to mount ISOs rather than burning the files to disc. It has a history so it will remember (if you want) your mounted ISOs, saving you the hassle of entering the details each time if you tend to use certain ISOs (eg game ISOs) regularly. Also, it is a small download and consumes little memory. It has worked flawlessly here. Besides, it uses a cool sheep icon as a drive icon, that's gotta be a bonus.Review details.
