Introduction

Mounting an ISO image is a common task performed by users who need to access the contents of an optical disc without having a physical drive. This article will walk you through the process of mounting an ISO image on your computer.

Step 1: Locate the ISO Image

Ensure that you have the ISO image file saved on your computer. If not, download or transfer the ISO image to a location where you can easily access it.

Step 2: Mount the ISO Image

There are several ways to mount an ISO image:

• Using built-in tools: Some operating systems have built-in tools to mount ISO images. For example, Windows 10 allows you to simply right-click on the ISO file and select ‘Mount’.
• Using third-party software: If your operating system does not have a built-in tool, you can use third-party software like Daemon Tools, WinCDEmu, or Virtual CloneDrive to mount the ISO image.

Step 3: Access the Contents

Once the ISO image is mounted, it will appear as a virtual drive on your computer. You can access the contents of the ISO image just like you would with a physical disc drive. Copy, edit, or run the files as needed.

Step 4: Unmount the ISO Image

Once you are done using the ISO image, you should unmount it to release the virtual drive. This can usually be done by right-clicking on the virtual drive and selecting ‘Eject’ or ‘Unmount’.

Conclusion

Mounting an ISO image is a convenient way to work with disc images without the need for physical media. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily mount and access the contents of an ISO image on your computer.
