To test an ISO image without burning to a disc using Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation. Of course, you can use any of the other virtual machine software to get a similar result. I also have Virtual PC installed and it too does a good job of mounting ISO images for testing, but for this article VirtualBox is used because it’s freely available to run on all Windows and Unix systems.
Simply follow the steps to load an ISO image into VirtualBox:
Step 1
Download and install VirtualBox.
Step 2
Run VirtualBox.
