Mount an ISO as a drive

I have known about this for a while, but never really had much pressing need.
Today the need and curiosity hit hard enough to get me to do it and I am glad.Go to the Microsoft Developers Network Subscription FAQ and find the link that says:
“What are ISO image files and how do I use them?”When you click on it you will see a bunch of info about ISO files appear for you.

It has several software recomendations including a free for personal use ISO Recorder for Windows, but I have been happy with DeepBurner Portable.

The tool I am mentioning here is the Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel for Windows XP (Link downloads the .exe from Microsoft’s site)

Mounting ISO files virtually
The following tool for Windows XP allows image files to be mounted virtually as CD-ROM devices. This tool is provided here for your convenience, and is unsupported by Microsoft Product Support Services.I just used it and it was very helpful since I have been having trouble with my CD-RW drive recognizing CD-RWs as writable.
