Roughly speaking, these files are archives, and they all contain other files you need. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to open them using a regular archiver such as WinRAR or Hamster. Moreover, often they do not need to be opened at all, but mounted. This article will outline how to mount an image in Daemon Tools.

Using a gadget

Initially, of course, this program must be downloaded. It is recommended to do this exclusively from the official website, since this software is in great demand among Internet users, and attackers can change it by placing a virus there, and, of course, then place it somewhere on another page.

  2. Explorer will open. In it you need to pave the way to your image that you previously downloaded.

During installation of the program, you were asked (if you performed a custom installation) which files should be automatically opened using our program; among the huge list, you had to specify the .iso extension. If you did exactly this, great, otherwise, no big deal, everything can be fixed.

  1. Open "My Computer" ("File Explorer").
  2. Go to the folder where the .iso file is located.
  3. Click on it twice (if you selected the necessary items during installation).
  4. Or right-click on it and in the menu that opens, click “Open with...”.
  5. In the window that appears, select our program.
  6. Click OK.

After the manipulations done, you will achieve what you want. We have discussed how to mount an image in Daemon Tools using the second method, and if it seems unacceptable to you, then the third is next.
