There are hundreds and hundreds of ISO mounters you can use, like @Midgar3110 said, Daemon tools can work, also you can use PowerISO, Alcohol 52%, etc.

1	Chris showed a program about a year ago called Virtual CloneDrive, just make an iso of the disk and CloneDrive will make a virtual drive in your computer using the iso file answered Jul 29 '12 at 19:42 pjob797 2.6k●38●49●82
