No, the application can't be used to mount disc images. I have checked its interface and features, but this option doesn't exist. The developers released another tool to mount disc images and it's called Virtual CloneDrive. The application is released as freeware and it can be downloaded from the download page.

No, the software can't write bootable image files to USB. This functionality is not present in the CloneCD application. The product is used for CD related operations only. No USB or other storage solutions are compatible with the application. In fact, no application released by the developers has the capability of writing bootable images to USB.


You will need another application for this operation, and Rufus is a good alternative: https://rufus.akeo.ie/

No, the software can't create ISO files. I have simulated a READ from File operation, and the file type supported is DVD and CUE (when selected). According to the developer's information, you can use CloneCD with an ISO file to write it to a CD, but you can't create one. I have tried every possible solution to do this with 0 % success. You might need another application to create a ISO file.


Use the database of Software Informer to look for an application that can create ISO images from physical discs.

No, there is no portable version of CloneCD. Each application listed on the developer's website is provided as an installer.


Additionally, you could download a portable version through the 3rd party websites available and listed through Google Search, but before you do this, make sure that you have a working and updated antivirus in your computer.

Yes, CloneCD can work with DVDs, but only for the reading part. This is what the developer says regarding the DVDs:


"Copies DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD+R Dual Layer and DVD-RAM" - SlySoft.


If you want an application to work with the DVDs, then I recommend installing their dedicated application for DVD media. It's called CloneDVD and it can be downloaded from the same page: http://www.slysoft.com/en/clonedvd.html
