Mount Logical Image files
Mount Image Pro v3 will mount Logical Image files created by EnCase (.L01) and Access Data's FTK (.AD1).
Please Note: Some users have experience problems opening Logical Image Files from a network drive. This is a speed related issue, so depending on your networks speed, you may need mount logical files from a local or USB2 accessed drive.
Mount Physical Drives
Mount Image Pro v3 uses physical device mount points. Physical drives no longer need to be allocated a drive letter and the physical device can be directly referenced by other applications.
Mount GPT Drives
Mount Image Pro v3 now mounts GPT drives. The GUID Partition Table (GPT) was introduced as part of the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) initiative. GPT provides a more flexible mechanism for partitioning disks than the older Master Boot Record (MBR) partitioning scheme that has been common to PCs.
GPT disks can grow to a very large size. The number of partitions on a GPT disk is not constrained by temporary schemes such as container partitions as defined by the MBR Extended Boot Record (EBR).
For more information on GPT partitioning, visit the Microsoft FAQ: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/GPT_FAQ.mspx
Mount non 512 sector drives
Some new drives, particularly MP3 storage devices, iPods, and other removable media are moving away from the standard 512 bytes per sector, to 2048 or other sizes. Mount Image Pro v3 is now able to mount non 512 bytes per sector drives.
Mount Entire Extended Partition
An entire Extended Partition can be mounted and referenced with a drive letter to allow direct access to any unallocated space within the extended partition.
New Mounting Engine
The new MIP v3 mounting engine will allow us to add significant new features in the coming months.
