I have been using Virtual Clone Drive since more than 1 year now. I think its one of the better Image mounting softwares available for Windows users.
Small footprint, less on system resources and is a Freeware. A Must-have for people in search of good CD/DVD mounting software.
I’ll also recommend it!
[...] If you don't have the Windows 7 Setup DVD but rather you have the ISO image then you will need to mount the ISO image to a virtual drive. [...]
