CDs and DVDs are still used by a lot of people. That's because they are cheap, they can store a fair amount of data and they can be read by various computer applications and media devices. But the problem with optical discs is that they can get easily scratched. To avoid losing data in these situations, the best thing to do is to create a backup copy of your disc collection. There are numerous programs on the market which allow you to create disc images, but few of them allow you to read the disc image and to mount it, in order to view the files located on the disc.

DAEMON Tools Lite is a program which allows you just that. It's a Windows application which can mount a large number of disc image formats, so that you can access them in the same way as accessing a physical disc. When installing the application, the user will need to select the version of the application that he would like to install, the free or the paid version. After the program has been installed, it adds a virtual optical drive in My Computer, from where you will be able to access your disc images.

For that, you will just need to select the desired image and to mount it into the program's interface. DAEMON Tools Lite is compatible with any type of image, no matter if it was created after a CD, DVD, Blu-ray disc or HD-DVD. What's more, several virtual drives can be added to My Computer and each of them can have its own disc image mounted. In case you haven't created a disc image yet, you can do so using the included tool for creating images, which is simple enough to be used by anyone.

Pros

It allows you to mount any disc image, offering support for almost any disc image format available on the market. Besides that, several virtual drives can be added to My Computer and each can contain its own disc images. Besides that, it includes a tool for creating images from any kind of disc.

Cons

The Lite version has several limitations and includes less features than the paid version. Using DAEMON Tools Lite, you can access all your disc images in the same way as accessing a physical disc.
