What the hell?……
The Tool needs smart folder-pathes to mount the Iso-file.
When comes out a newer version that allows longer folder-pathes?

hey guys, talking about useful, small and free tools, check this out: PowerPro v4.9 (http://powerpro.webeddie.com/) No fancy colours in their website, they go straight to the matter. This little jewel will blow your mind and set new standards for small, free and useful tools. Wanna minimise applications (any) to the task bar? Wanna run or do specific commands to specific applications? Wanna set windows on top or below? What do you want? Does not matter, just use it. Don’t need to install either, can be used from USB drive. Good’on ya.

That’s a nifty little ISO creation tool, I hadn’t heard about it until now. Thanks for the tip!

This is a response to the

“Do you maintain disk images on your portable drive? What tool(s) do you utilize to use your images?” questions

I do maintain disk images on my portable drive and I found this really nifty portable program to create such isos

I do not know if it was previously covered on the makeuseof site but the program is called LCISOCreator by Lucersoft

Its a tiny program (14kb) that runs without install that creates isos from (what I can tell) any format that your drive will read.

Very simple to use, though no customization ability

simply launch the program, put the media in the drive and click create iso

it will prompt you to choose a save destination and what to name it and it will then do its magic, and very fast.

This is true. Administrator privileges are indeed necessary to use the app. As you say, if you primarily use portable apps on public computers, it may be limited in its usefulness. However, if you use portable apps to diagnose, repair, enhance other systems, it is definitely a good tool to have on your portable drive.

Excelent program. I’ll check this out.

‘Unfortunately, most of these programs require the installation of drivers…’
And the installation of drivers, even with this tool, requires administrator privileges. But if you use portable applications because you often work on computers that are not yours (libraries, internet kiosks), it is unlikely you have administrator privileges.

Jorge, nice article. I have started using a similar software called MagicISO recently and I think its an excellent option too.

It is a negative attribute when you have to go through the process of running an installation program. The Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel makes it easy by keeping the installation/uninstallation of the driver within the program itself. I don’t know of any other disk image mounting programs that allow you to do that.

You stated –
‘Unfortunately, most of these programs require the installation of drivers…’
then later state –
‘ Click the Install Driver … button…’
I thought installing drivers was a negative attribute.
Did I miss something?
