External Hard Drive & Mounting Images
« on: October 04, 2007, 08:41:02 AM »
Hi, I am having a problem. I have an automotive program that uses 10 dvd's. You only use one at a time. I have converted the discs to ISO's. I would like to mount all 10 images on my external hard drive. I would like to be able to take the hard drive with me to another computer and have this information. Two questions, Do I need to partition the drive first, second, what software should I use? I have tried Daemon,Nero, Alcohol 120 And Poweriso. Everyone of them offers virtual drives. But when you click on them, it always puts them on my c drive not on the external drive. How can I get the images mounted on an external drive?

    Lets get something straight here.
    Daemon Tools (or any other virtual drive software for that matter) cant mount a disc image to a hdd drive, period! I.e. it doesn't mount the image to your c: drive, it mounts it to a "fake" CD/DVD drive that is installed by Daemon Tools.

    So what you need to do, is move the 10 ISOs you have to the external hard drive along with a copy of Daemon Tools. Then when you hook it up to another computer, install Daemon Tools on the computer and mount the ISOs from the external hdd.
    Job done.
