    MagicISO


    Personally I've tried MagicISO x64 on Windows 7 Beta x64 and the OS starts failing until I can't open anything or even startup.
    But I've read that some people have been able to get it to work?

    Any help or any other programs people might suggest?

    SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive for mounting

    Several different items listed in the https://www.sevenforums.com/software/...indow-7-a.html

    I used PowerISO, seems to work well enough. Don't quite like the layout though :-\

    I never liked SlyTools.

    Well, Daemon doesn't work in W7 anymore, so VCD and a couple of freebie alternatives are the only alternatives we have for mounting .ISOs....

    At least until I figure out how to get the system to natively mount them....

    W7 is supposed to come with native support for mounting ISOs?

    It can support *bootijng* from VHD - if it can do that, I don't see why it *can't* mount ISOs....

    I just gotta find it....

    How could it mount ISOs if Windows 7 can't create virtual drives?

    That's just it - you can create VHDs as their own partitions, but the ability to create virtual drives right in W7 *should* be there - it makes no sense to include the ability to make VHDs in a partition and yet not mount them to play around with, and thus the ability to make and mount ISOs makes just as much sense.

    I am not saying it is not going to need some third party software (particularly, as you pointed out, the mounting) but if I can find a workaround or else figure out a bit of simple code through PowerShell, then life will have gotten a lot easier.

    Or Windows should be like Macs and include "everything you need" right out the box

    lmfao - it ain't got NTFS support out of box, and it doesn't have the nice rEFIt softwar making multiple OS selection on boot a lot easier than holding the #$%^$%^ command key down....
