Searching for “Flash drive mounting” software

mountsoftware-recusb-flash-drive

I am working on Windows 7 Ultimate.

I have an ISO file and need write access to it. On virtual daemon I only can simulate CD-ROM drives without write access. Is there any mounting software that can simulate a flash drive, or can at least give write access to the ISO?

Have you tried using a Virtual Hard Drive? It will allow you do just this, with no additional software or hardware.

In Windows 7, using Disk Management, you can create a Virtual Hard Disk (VHD), and attach it as a drive on your computer. You can then assign it a drive letter, and partition it, like a normal drive.

The VHD is a file, that resides on your hard drive. You have two options:

  • Dynamically sized - The file will start out very small, and will expand to fit its contents. You specify an upper limit to how large the file can get.
  • Fixed size - You specify the size of the file. It will always be that size, no matter how much data is actually stored in it.

A walkthrough on how to do this is here: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/creating-attaching-mounting-vhd-files-windows-7-windows-2008-r2.html
