Mounting ISO images as a drives on Windows

This week I wanted to try the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows 7 RC in order to play with the new feature that allows you to boot from VHD files. After I downloaded the WAIK I hit my first stumbling block - it’s distributed as an ISO file

I didn’t want to use a DVD-R just for installing the WAIK so I went on the hunt for a tool to mount the ISO as a drive and found a small, very easy-to-use, and free tool: Pismo Technic’s Pismo File Mount Audit Package.

Despite its unexciting name, this is a very convenient tool to have (did I mention it is free?)

Nice tip Saveen, this sure beats 'unzipping' the ISO and having 2 x 1.4GB (or whatever) on your system.

Pismo is a nice little beach town near San Luis Obisbo, which might add a little excitement to the name!
