If you don’t have a CD/DVD burner, one problem that you are most likely to face sometimes is that the software you have downloaded, might be rendered useless because you will only get those softwares as ISO image file formats.

So what is the solution then? As you might have guessed, you need to burn these ISO/CD images to a CD/DVD to make these softwares usable/install-able. In that case you need to use the MagicDisc-Virtual CD/DVD-ROM freeware.

What does this freeware do? It lets you mount ISO files as virtual CD/DVD drive. How? The magic of MagicDisc is simple. This freeware, once you download it, nestles itself in your system tray. Right click on the icon and simply select “mount” image files as a virtual CD/DVD drive. Selecting the virtual drive again will give you options of mounting/unmounting the drive.

Beside ISO MagicDisc also supports BIN (CDRWin), IMA/IMG (Generic disk images), CIF (Easy CD Creator), NRG (Nero – Burning ROM), IMG/CCD (CloneCD), MDF/MDS (Fantom CD), VCD (Farstone Virtual Drive), VaporCD (Noum Vapor CDROM), P01/MD1/XA (Gear), VC4/000 (Virtual CD), VDI (Virtuo CD Manager), C2D (WinOnCD), BWI/BWT (BlinkWrite), CDI (DiscJuggler), TAO/DAO (Duplicator) and PDI (Instant Copy)

It runs on Windows 9x / Me / 2000 / XP / 2003 and Vista based PC for 32 bit version and Windows XP / 2003 and Vista 64 bit editions and supports upto 15 virtual CD / DVD drives.
