This is useful in many instances for example is netbooks without an optical drive, where you can download the image of an original installation CD/DVD, mount the image and install the program from the mounted image. With disk mounting software like OSFMount You can then assign the image file to a drive letter and use it as a virtual disk drive. There are several utilities that can write the whole contents of a CD, DVD or hard disk to create a disk image file (with file extension ISO, IMG, NRG, DD etc). Mounting means using a file as a virtual disk in My Computer. OSFMount from Passmark Software is a free disk image mounting software with some nice features that distinguish it from similar programs specifically, OSFMount can mount image files as WRITABLE disks, and also allows to create virtual drives in memory.
