PowerISO for Linux

PowerISO for Linux is a powerful image and image compression tool that allows you to create, extract, compress, edit and convert ISO files and mount ISO files on virtual drives . Most compressed files can be directly used without decompression.

In addition, PowerISO is capable of handling most CD / DVD / BD image files, including ISO and BIN files. So you can do anything with your ISO file and disc image.

Some key features of PowerISO for Linux:

• Supports almost all CD / DVD-ROM image file formats (ISO, BIN, NRG, IMG, DAA (*) .).

How to create a virtual optical drive:

In the right corner, you will see the Virtual Drive Manager section used to create virtual optical drives. This feature helps you directly use disc images, without having to burn them to physical optical disks.

Under Number of Virtual Drives, select the number of virtual CD / DVD drives you want to create. Depending on how many optical disks you want to run at the same time, you select the corresponding number. If you have a lot of disk images, but you can only create one virtual disk at a time. Which disk you need to use, then you should load the corresponding disk image file into the virtual drive.

The check box in Autostart on boot up will allow the virtual disk creation program to run automatically whenever the computer starts up. Next is the section Automount on boot up , when you tick this box, the program will automatically link the image file you want to the virtual optical drive for you, when the computer boots up.
