OSFMount is a lightweight Windows utility published by Passmark Software that enables forensic investigators, malware analysts, and system administrators to access the contents of raw disk images without restoring them to physical hardware. By presenting the image as a mounted volume with an assigned drive letter or as an additional physical disk, the program lets users browse, search, and extract files directly from bit-for-bit copies of entire drives or individual partitions created by tools such as dd, AFF, E01, or Passmark’s own OSFClone. The software supports popular forensic formats including VMDK, VHD, and ISO, and can mount images read-only to preserve evidentiary integrity or read-write when temporary modifications are required. Typical use cases include examining suspect drives for deleted files, verifying backup completeness, running antivirus scans against offline systems, and booting virtual machines from legacy images. Version 3.1.1003.0, the first and current release listed in the catalog, integrates with Windows volume shadow-copy infrastructure to expose multiple snapshots simultaneously and offers optional RAM-disk creation for high-speed temporary storage. The application is categorized under Disk & File Tools. OSFMount is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
