OSFMount allows you to mount local dd image files (bit-
for-bit copies of a disk partition) in Windows. You
can then analyze the disk image file with PassMark
OSForensics by using the mounted volume drive letter.
By default, the image files are mounted as read only
so that the original image files are not altered.

OSFMount supports RAM disks, basically a disk mounted
into RAM. This generally has a large speed benefit
over using a hard disk. As such this is useful with
applications requiring high speed disk access, such a
database applications, games (such as game cache
files) and browsers (cache files). A second benefit is
security, as the disk contents are not stored on a
physical hard disk (but rather in RAM) and on system
shutdown the disk contents are not persistent.

OSFMount supports mounting images of CDs, which can be
useful when a particular CD is used often and the
speed of access is important.
