Running image files from a PC, how?

I have 5 image files, ending .iso, I know I can burn this files to dvd and run them from there, however due to extreme impatience I dont want to burn all of them and wait for hours for it to complete.

Therefore my question is this, is there anyway of being able to run image files directly from my pc or do I have to burn them to use them.

I think Daemon tools Lite is the most well known.
But be careful that you don't install their unecessary toolbars during installation.

Also the setup requires a restart (and it has to continue a bit of the installation after restart) - but it's still simple to install and use.

... I also remember reading about this but have never tried it.

Works perfectly nice one, saved me 5 dvds and loads of time.

I used to use Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120% to mount ISO images, but was surprised to find that you can extract the files from an image file using 7-zip, just as if the ISO were a ZIP file...

Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120 both work, but it only takes 6 mins to burn a dvdr these days

Daemon Tools lite as mentioned so does alcohol 120 do the trick
