== Description ==

OSFMount allows you to mount local disk image files (bit-for-bit copies of an entire disk or disk partition) in Windows as a physical disk or a logical drive letter.
OSFMount is a 64-bit Windows utility. An older version (OSFMount V2.0.1001) is available for 32-bit as well.
While images are mounted as read-only per default, the tool also supports opening images in a "write cache" mode, where changes are written into a delta file.

The tool supports the following Windows image file formats:
