hi

i was tryin to use few iso files recently, everything went well , i used power iso to mount the images , & got the files or programs to work fine , but when i restart the pc , the mounted drive is no longer there & the shortcut icons in the desktop r not working at all .
could anyone please tell me what i'm doin wrong ! how can i access the file or programs without having to mount the image every time i want to use it ?

( please Ret***me do not close this thread , i don't c anything wrong with it !! )

regards

Are you mounting CDs to play copied games?

Try daemon tools. It's free and works well.

Power ISO has an option to maintain the mount. If you have software preventing items being added to the startup you'll have to add an exception for power ISO.

just use winrar to extract the image and install as normal, no mounting involved

I find MagicDisc to be the most straight-forward way to mount .iso files. Daemon tools gets arsey sometimes. It's proper freeware too not "freemium".

Daemon Tools Lite is my personal choice. Easy to use, and free. Used it for years with no issues.

MagicDisc, right click on the icon in the system tray, click mount, select your file and the job is done. Stays mounted until you unmount it again

Alcohol 52% is decent.

This, very much. Never ever had a problem with DT.

Just be careful installing DT as it want's to install all kinds of crap.
