<p>I have migrated to Windows 7 fairly early and back then I needed an application which could help me to mount ISO images on Windows 7 OS.</p>
<p>There was a lot of freeware applications which could mount .ISO images to Windows XP, but for Windows 7, I didn&#8217;t have much options.The only application which worked on Windows 7 was <a href="http://www.poweriso.com/" target="_blank">Power ISO Virtual Drive Manager</a>.</p>
<p>Today, more tools for mounting ISO images are compatible with Windows 7, but for this purpose, I will use Power ISO Virtual Drive Manager</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not using it very often, but it is working in trial mode for a long time now, no need for registering. Apparently, I&#8217;m not using all of it&#8217;s cool features.</p>
<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s how to mount an ISO file on Windows 7.<!--more--></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Download Power ISO Virtual Driver Manager Trial from <a href="http://www.poweriso.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Install the application and restart your computer.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Once restarted you will notice additional &#8216;CD Drive&#8217; in &#8216;My Computer&#8217; view.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 30px;">To mount the .iso image, click on the gold CD icon in your system tray and choose to &#8216;mount image to drive&#8217;, as you can see in the image below:</p>

<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> Browse to ISO image and click the open button.</p>
