Mount RAW and virtual disk images of various formats in read-only or read-write mode with the help of this easy to use application
As its name suggests, Image Mounter can create virtual drives to allow the mounting of disk images on your computer. Once mounted, a new drive is allocated to the disk image, and you should be able to browse its contents in Windows Explorer without a hassle.
Support for various virtual disk images
The versatility of Image Mounter comes from the array of disk images it supports. It can read and mount RAW images of various types, which are generally used in forensics, as well as common virtual disk images you might have heard of, such as VMDK, VHD, VDI, pVHD, and VHDX.
Working with the application should pose no issues. Its overly simple interface is split into two separate panels, one for displaying the list of disk images, be them mounted or unmounted, and the other for revealing information about the selected image. Image Mounter shows the size of the image file, its capacity, and the mount point. Adding a new image to the list is easily done using the 'plus' sign and browsing to the location where the file is stored.
Mount images in read-only or read-write mode
Mounting an image only requires the push of a button. Image Mounter prompts you to choose a few settings before mounting the image. The virtual disk can be created as a physical disk for RAW images, and you can choose between read-only and read-write modes. The sector size is also customizable, as you can choose the desired value from a drop-down list.
Trying to keep things simple, the application does not offer too many additional settings. Nevertheless, you can choose the default mounting mode and instruct Image Mounter to log all its actions to file.
Mount various disk images with a few clicks
Image Mounter is fi for forensics experts and other users who might need quick virtual disk mounting. It allows working with APFS-formatted and Linux drives under Windows, and it ensures compatibility with various types of disk images.
