If you want to mount images of a CD or DVD on virtual drives, then you need to use Daemon Tools (DT). DT is a disk image emulator that allows users the freedom not to swap disks when running different programs. This toll allows you to bypass copyright restrictions in disks that have games and other programs, forestalling the necessity of maintaining a huge collection of disks in real time, saving space and adding convenience. Daemon Tools allow you to upload multiple disc images at the same time, doing away with the requirement of using software that requires moving between multiple disks. If you wish to use Daemon Tools on your system, follow the instructions listed below.
Step 1:

Installation. You should begin with downloading the installation program from the DT website. The latest version available is v4.09.1, released in April 2007. Once the down load is complete, you will be asked to run the program ‘open Daemon.exe', which you can click on and choose ‘install'. Follow the instructions that come up on your computer screen to complete the installation. You will be required to reboot your computer after the installation is completed. Once rebooted, you can run DT on your system, a SCSI controller is added to the desktop.

Step 2:

Using DT for mounting images. To begin using ST, ensure that there is at least one CD/DVD_ROM device in your computer. Click on the DT tools button, choose the right devise and click on ‘mount'. Choose the picture you want mounted and using the ‘mount 'n' drive' manager, add the image you've selected. Then double-click on the image and click on the ‘mount' icon, choose the driver where you want to mount the image and click.

Step 3:

Installing from multiple disks. Keep inserting disks one by one and run the installer program until you're finished installing all the disks.

While using DT, it is important to remember that emulation tools are basically used to copy material that is actually protected by copyright law. Hence, make sure you are not infringing any copyrights before you use Daemon Tools to mount images.
