How to Use Daemon Tools to Open ISO

ISO is a virtual copy of a CD.

Daemon Tools is a freeware program that allows you to use virtual CD files such as those in ISO format. These files are images of real CDs, and Daemon Tools lets you play these files without having the original CD on hand. This can be useful for backing up your CDs in case they get scratched or become lost.

Instructions

1. Download and install Daemon Tools. The Lite version is free to use.

2. Click on the icon of Daemon Tools in the rightcorner of windows. The Daemon Tools Icon is bright red and so it should be easier to spot.

3. Click on one of the virtual drives. For example, it might read "Device 0: [L:] Empty." A browse window will appear. use this window to locate and double-click on your ISO file. This will "mount" the file and it should now open. if it doesn't, click on "My Computer" in the "Start" menu. double-click on the device drive there to open your CD.
