TotalMounter
What it is
TotalMounter is a free Windows utility combining virtual optical drives, virtual disk mounting, and iSCSI initiator functions. It mounts ISO, CDI, BIN, MDS, MDF, IMG, RAW, CCD, and NRG image files. Its virtual CD/DVD burner can write data to an ISO file through CD/DVD burning software. The program creates and mounts IMG and VHD virtual disks, with AES 256-bit encryption listed for virtual disk files. Its iSCSI initiator connects to CHAP-protected targets, including targets made by iStorage Server, while an INetDisk client connects to an INetDisk Server. Virtual Write lets users copy files into a read-only drive without changing what other clients see. The feature list supports up to eight virtual drives. The Free edition includes a basic GUI, virtual optical drives, encrypted virtual disks, iSCSI disks, an INetDisk client, and forum support. Requirements list 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, and Server 2008. Ethernet is required for INetDisk and iSCSI mounting.
