Daemon Tools is not the only drive emulator that lets you load disk images but from what I've seen it's the most convenient. Only downside is that when you first install, you have to reboot and then it autostarts with Windows. That can be disabled, but if you regularly work with .bin or .iso files then you will probably want it on all the time. A simple taskbar icon gives you one click access to all the functions you should want: number of virtual drives, mount image and eject / unmount image. I haven't had anything but great results with DAEMON Tools and recommend it to everyone! (PS - Particularly useful for checking the validity of disk images you may have downloaded with emule or azureus! ;-)
