It isn’t as intuitive and easy to use as many other tools and requires some manual work to install the driver, so make sure to read the Readme.txt carefully.ĭownload Microsoft Virtual CDRom Control PanelĪs we mentioned earlier, Windows 10 has a basic ISO mounting feature already built in. The executable is portable (needs to be run as admin) and can be used from anywhere but the driver still needs to be installed correctly. The whole package is under 60KB in size consisting of only a driver file, an executable and a Readme file. ImDisk can also mount and create Ramdisks but if you don’t want to use it the option can be turned off during install. The Toolkit version of ImDisk takes the standard ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver and adds a more friendly user interface along with a few other tweaks and improvements. However, it is much newer being released in 2018, so might have better compatibility in the future. It lacks the archive mounting feature, can create 16 virtual drives instead of 23 and doesn’t have a custom Temp folder option.

WinArchiver Virtual Drive is from 2012 but worked without issue in Windows 10Īs we’ve mentioned, gBurner Virtual Drive is slightly different and not quite as powerful. Zip, 7z, RAR, WIM, CAB and many other archives can be mounted without extracting the contents of the archive first. A useful feature is the ability to mount just about any type of file archive as a virtual drive. Each drive can have a specific letter assigned to it. The program is able to create up to 23 virtual drives from around 25 different image formats.
