ISO Mounting problems

    Right so here is the problem.

    My c:\ is a 36gb raptor. With just vista installed. And there is only 6/7GB space left. Now when im trying to mount a ISO it uses a temp folder in c:\. Now for 4.7gb iso's its grand and will allow me to install what ever is mounted. Same for 6.Xgb iso's.

    Now the problem happens when i try to install a game. I always backup my dvd's as i tend to leave them lying about and get destroyed.

    Take Cod4 for example, i have purchased the game, and when i install it normally its grand, no hassle at all. But when i mount the iso of the game the install goes fine, but when i try to launch the exe from the game folder it refuses with the usual vista bollicks ( windows is searching for a resolution to the problem ) but gives no report on what the problem is/was......

    I think i am getting this problem as when i mount the iso ( 6.3gb ) i am left with under 1gb free space on c:\. as the iso is being put in a temp folder on c:\ that vista is hiding ( i found it using treesize ) With both deamon tools and poweriso they give you a option to use a temp file on c:\ or another location. The only problem is it now saves the temp files on c:\ and on the drive i decided on.

    Does anyone know of a good free mounting software ? As i dont feel like ribbing out my raptor and sticking in a 500gb drive just to sort this out !

    Cheers.

    Okay, the problem is sorted now. The problem was not the pagefile or ammount of space on C:\ but rather the exe's would not run without securecom. securerom protection disabled ( and the fact the dev's didnt know how to write x64 code....... So open source comes into play ). Which is fair enough. But backing up a game is not illegal... So i managed to download the "modified" versions of the .exe
