gBurner Virtual Drive
What it is
gBurner Virtual Drive is a free Windows utility for creating virtual CD/DVD drives and accessing disc images without burning them to physical media. It supports up to 16 virtual drives and formats including ISO, GBI/GBP, DAA, NRG, MDF/MDS, BIN/CUE, UIF, ISZ, DMG, IMG, and VCD. To mount an image, right-click the virtual-drive tray icon, choose “Mount Image File to Drive,” select the image, and click OK. Choose “Unmount Drive” from the same menu to remove it. The download page lists Windows support from 98 through 11, with 32-bit and 64-bit editions. The free edition is described as available for personal and business use. However, the download comparison identifies mounting an image file as a gBurner Pro feature rather than a gBurner Free feature. Pro costs $39.95, paid once. The maker says game and program images can run at over 200 times the speed of a conventional CD/DVD-ROM.
