Mount image file as a drive
1. Open Tools and select the option Mount drive.
2. Select the image file (*.omg) from the dialog window, from which you want to mount the drive. If you are not
sure, you can look up the details of the image under Image information.
3. After selecting the image file, all drives included in the image will be listed in the program window.
4. Select the displayed drive as image. Here in the example "Volume (E:)".
5. Afterwards, you can select any name from the drive list (e.g. G:) for the drive from the image.
6. Then click Mount drive. If the mounting process was successful, you will see the virtual drive from the image
displayed as drive (G:) in Windows Explorer.
Please note that you may only access sectors which contain image files. Refreshing can take a few moments.
Enable mounting disk:
If you create an image of one or more, partitions/volumes, the image contains additional information about the disk
(or hard disk) along with the imaged data. This information will concern the hard disk's structure as well as its cor-
responding system areas such as the master boot record, possibly existing extended boot records, the LDM (log-
ical disk management) database or the GUID partition table. With the function Enable mounting disk, you can load
this information or use it for acquainting the hard disk to the operating system based on the disk's original infor-
mation. We recommend using this function when you want to restore deleted or destroyed data from a forensic
image.
Note: Creating a virtual disk out of an entire hard disk can result in recognition problems for the virtual disk
when the following applies to the hard disk being imaged:
- defective or invalid partition tables
- partitioning process not supported by your operating system (e.g. GPT)
- dynamic hard disks containing volumes that are spanned, striped, mirrored or RAID5 when not all the hard
disks being used were imaged
- encrypted hard disk
