For the longest time I used to use NERO burning rom, I used to be able to edit music , burn cd’s of all types of formats. It was my goto app for when I needed to place data on cd’s and dvd’s. Things started to go wrong around version 7.5. It was no longer the sleek fast and all around awesome application I had grown to love. It was re-coded to look shiny and nice, and started using microsoft .net libraries. So I started looking for alternatives , and the best that I have found is imgburn.com.

http://www.imgburn.com/

ImgBurn supports multiple formats (bin, cue, iso, nrg), multiple audio formats (AAC, APE, FLAC, M4A, MP3, OGG, PCM, WAV), and the new version will even let you burn HD DVD’s and BlueRay Video disks if you have the capable hardware.

It will run on all these platforms: Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 and 7 (including the 64 bit versions)

Best of all it’s free.

They can have multiple files and folders inside of them. I find they can be a clean way of housing many files. Of course, once you have them, you need a way to mount them in windows ( linux and osx have built-in ways of mounting them)

So the very first ( and free) way to mount iso’s
winxpvirtual

This one takes a bit of work to setup:

1. Copy VCdRom.sys to your %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder.
2. Execute VCdControlTool.exe
3. Click “Driver control”
4. If the “Install Driver” button is available, click it. Navigate to the %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder, select VCdRom.sys, and click Open.
5. Click “Start”
6. Click OK
7. Click “Add Drive” to add a drive to the drive list. Ensure that the drive added is not a local drive. If it is, continue to click “Add Drive” until an unused drive letter is available.
8. Select an unused drive letter from the drive list and click “Mount”.
9. Navigate to the image file, select it, and click “OK”. UNC naming conventions should not be used, however mapped network drives should be OK.

The second is Called Clone Drive(free)
