Virtual CloneDrive works and behaves just like a physical CD/DVD drive, however it exists only virtually. Image files generated with CloneDVD or CloneCD can be mounted onto a virtual drive from your hard-disk or from a network drive and used in the same manner as inserting them into a normal CD/DVD drive.

Doesn't seem to work. Even using it on iso images created by its own AnyDVD.

This is thee best! Oh, and it is free!
Don't pay for those other scam virtual drives.
Reviewing 5.4.4.0 (Jan 16, 2011)
Ideally for me. Free, small, stable, easy to use, itegrates in the windows explorer, up to 15 virtual drives, supports folling filetypes:
ISO
CCD
DVD
IMG
UDF
Reviewing 5.4.4.0 (Dec 28, 2009)
great program... i choose it over some of the more fully-featured programs like daemon tools because i rarely ever use some of the alternative image formats like nero or alcohol images... and if i have one that i need to mount, i just convert it with ultraiso. other than that, i like it because it's lightweight, free, and simply does what it's intended to do.
my only complaint is the incredible delay between updates. i mean... look at the changelist for this version (12-2009)... we have waited over six months for "added version info" (isn't this standard practice?) and "updated languages" (none of which i'll ever use). i can't complain too much since it's free, but there's pretty much no progression of development or adding of new features/improvements -- and if they do, they're so insignificant that they're borderline pointless. after 6+ months since the last version i'd hope to see "added extra image format support" or "added these 10 new features". yeah right! i'm going to make a program... then release a new version a year later; and here's gonna be my changelog -> "updated version number from 0.1 to 0.2".
just kidding. i love virtual clonedrive, nevertheless. thank you slysoft for this free tool.
One poster said he Can't mount Audio CD's?
that has to be one of dumbest reasons EVER to give a rating to a product. You PLAY Audio CD's, you don't mount them, and just about ANY player can rip the contents (at the very least Windows Media Player built into windows can rip it to MP3).
I really fail to see the point of MOUNTING Audio CD's. Mounting is to grab data or install a product.
