DAEMON Tools

Edit: This is now the fourth tutorial under the Newbie Guide Tutorial Series. It's not done to uphold the flashy name but to ease your way by learning things step-by-step. I decided that this deserves the fourth step so here it is!

Hello everyone! This is the (very eassssyyyy) tutorial about DAEMON Tools. And yes, it’s complete with screenshots. In this tutorial, I used DAEMON Tools Lite since it’s the only (I think) DAEMON that’s free to download. If you don’t have it yet, please download  it. Don’t worry, it’s not that big of a file!

DAEMON Tools (short for Disk And Execution Monitor tools) is a virtual drive and optical disc authoring program for Microsoft Windows. 

(Yes, I got that description from Wikipedia. Bite me.) 

● Upon downloading DAEMON, double-click the setup and a setup wizard will appear.   Install it.

● After installing, open DAEMON Tools Lite. On the left corner, there is an icon of a disc with a green plus sign. Click it to add an image. 

Let me clear one misconception from an anonymous I’ve come across on one site. You DO NOT have to burn the ISO file upon adding the image. DAEMON plays the image file as if you put a disc in your DVD Drive.

●  A window will open and select the ISO file of the image you want to mount. In this case, I used the ISO file of the Otome game Starry Sky ~in Spring~ (great visual novel, by the way). 

● DAEMON will add the file to the “Image Catalog”. Click the green ‘play’ sign to mount it. Usually, the mounted image will Autoplay but in certain cases it didn’t, open “My Computer” and you will see it in the DVD Drive. 

I didn’t take this tutorial from the others and I made it myself.  If you want to post this tutorial on your site/blog, please, do not claim it as yours. At least, give the credits to me.
