If you’re into Linux then you’re already familiar with downloading ISO images, mounting them, and using them to load a Linux distro on your computer. What other kinds of ISO images are there?
Or what if you lent the CD to a friend? If you had an ISO copy you could just search your computer and mount it to a virtual drive. Let’s say you want to find a CD on your shelves but they are not in order. This one ties into the space problem above.
If anything happens to the individual songs or movie files you can simply mount the ISO onto a virtual disc drive and restore it. By ripping them to ISO images you can store a perfect backup of all your movies and music on a hard drive that costs about the same as a couple media cabinets from Amazon. If you have a lot of music and movies sitting on optical media then you know how much space it consumes. You can use ISO images to store backups of your optical media on cheaper storage and then read them later. Scratches, oil from your hands, dirt/dust, and other factors cause the media to deteriorate over time. Optical media was not meant to last forever. There are several reasons why you might want to create and then read from an ISO image of your media. This file can then be accessed by software to create a “virtual” optical drive as if you had the disc already in the tray.īefore we get into how to mount ISO images let’s first look at why you would want one and briefly how to create one.
You may also use it as an INetDisk client that allows you to connect to INetDisk Server.ISO images can be used to make full backups of your CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Ray discs and store them in a single file on your computer similar to how a compressed “Zip” file works. It is a perfect solution if you wish to connect to iSCSI Targets created by iStorage Server. TotalMounter can work as an iSCSI Initiator that allows for logging to targets that are CHAP protected. On top of that you can also mount virtual disk image files such as. Except for that you can also use it to balmost every commonly used image files, such as. After this process will finish, you can easily burn such ISO file in any burning software of your choice, including Windows 7 default burning software.Virtual CD/DVD burner isn’t the only feature of TotalMounter. After mounting virtual burner for the first time, system will recognize it and automatically install all necessary drivers to run it. TotalMounter is only free software that allows user to mount virtual CD/DVD burner that is allowing to directly burn data onto an ISO file, not to an optical disk (such as CD or DVD).
