Paragon Image Mounter
Freiburg, Germany
What it is
Paragon Image Mounter is a Windows utility for mounting disk images during advanced data analysis. It supports RAW, VMDK, VDI, VHD, pVHD, and VHDX files, and can mount disks physically with all partitions present. Partitions using recognized operating-system formats can be mounted automatically. Users choose read-only or read-write mode before working with a mounted disk. Paragon File System Link drivers let Windows mount and operate Linux, HFS+, and APFS drives. The minimum listed requirement is Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 or newer. Paragon describes the tool for IT professionals and forensic experts. Its preview version is free and available by requesting it from sales; the paid product is priced on request. A described advanced version is planned to add E01 and Ex01 formats, APFS read-write support, and automatic mounting when the system starts. Paragon directs help requests to its support service and lists regional business sales contacts.
