ARSENAL IMAGE MOUNTER

Image Mounter

 

Reliable. Powerful. Trusted.

 

Easily Launch Virtual Machines from Disk Images

 

And much, much more…

 

Many Windows®-based disk image mounting solutions mount the contents of disk images as shares or partitions, rather than complete (aka “physical or “real”) disks, which limits their usefulness to digital forensics practitioners and others. Arsenal Image Mounter mounts the contents of disk images as complete disks in Windows, allowing users to benefit from disk-specific features like integration with Disk Manager, launching virtual machines (and then bypassing Windows authentication and DPAPI), managing BitLocker-protected volumes, mounting Volume Shadow Copies, and more.
