Free virtual CD ROM for Windows XP
This free program for Windows XP lets you create a virtual CD drive on your hard disk. Some visitors to the site have confirmed that it works with Windows 2000 too (but this is not stated in Microsoft's official readme). For anyone unfamiliar with the terms 'virtual CD' or 'CD emulator', they mean that you can copy the entire contents of a CD-ROM to your hard disk and run the programs or access the files without the need for the original CD. This can make files more accessible, faster and more convenient. Given the speed and size of today's hard drives, you could easily fit a number of CDs onto your hard drive without noticing the difference. Assuming you had 30 full CDs, these would take around 20GB on a hard drive and all will be accessible after a few clicks of a mouse. As mentioned above, this program is free, and it is absolutely tiny at just 0.06MB. There are many similar commercial programs around, but they will set you back $50-$100 and can be substantially larger.

ISO Recorder
Your CDs have to be converted to ISO files. That is not as hard as it sounds. Programs like Nero can do it, but there is another free tool for XP that will let you create ISO files in a flash. Welcome to the ISO Recorder download page. ISO Recorder is a tool (power toy) for Windows XP, 2003 and now Windows Vista, that allows (depending on the Windows version) to burn CD and DVD images (DVD support is only available on Windows Vista), copy disks, make images of the existing data CDs and DVDs and create ISO images from a content of a disk folder. ISO Recorder has been conceived during Windows XP beta program, when Microsoft for the first time started distributing new OS builds as ISO images. Even though the new OS had CD-burning support (by Roxio), it did not have an ability to record an image. ISO Recorder has filled this need and has been one of the poular Windows downloads ever since.

Fundamental Computer Investigation Guide for Windows
The Fundamental Computer Investigation Guide for Windows discusses processes and tools for use in internal computer investigations. It introduces a multi-phase model that is based on well-accepted procedures in the computer investigation community. It also presents an applied scenario example of an internal investigation in an environment that includes Microsoft® Windows®–based computers. The investigation uses Windows Sysinternals tools (advanced utilities that can be used to examine Windows–based computers) as well commonly available Windows commands and tools.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc162846.aspx
NOTE here are the few amatuer forensics performed by self. These were real attacks against personsal machines and the diagnosis of that. They are unique as apparently "spear phishing via titulation - trusted product / bad employee" . Otherwise, I obviously am quite adept in computer security and answers "how did it happen to this person then". This was their (cyber crime) only way in - to apparently pay off insiders to complete their attempted "Columbia Necklace" (kill the snitch). For me it was quite LOL (laughing out loud) - as their best "in the wild" attack via unknown threats to virtually all top names in antivirus and antispyware products were diagnosed by me in less than 60 seconds with an entire semi-professional report to top agencies and companies within 57 minutes, posted publically at a former security forum I hosted. In forensics and computing, there are various "proof of concept" type areas that may not be posted publically until defense is verily issued and grooved in with the public defended. One hint was offered - for the cyber criminals and all involved to see and understand how impotent their best shot against me to destroy equipment was - as their newest "brain child" of threats - posted at the forum. This involved in a bottom line that I did as well discover a crafted infected .gif image with apparent attempt of infecting industrial plasma servers. They needed to learn they were a complete public fool as they attempted to make me - and as it was a massive, massive payload. And revenge as such is sweet. (recompense to their bosom their evil). This entire payload was removed and as well damages repaired - threat (botnet infection) entirely diffused. Incredibly, being attacked elevated publicly my abilities unknown publicly as neccessary and thus launching my "Amatuer Forensics" and subsequent group and forums for botnet infection help - a new reconsolidation of Community Help against bots and botnets. Of note, a well known help forum (CastleCops) was attacked by a DDoS (distributed denial of service) which disbled visatation and help at their domain and within about 2-4 weeks same were arrested by the FBI (USA). I believe it was Secunia.com (security) was decrypting threat messages embedded in malware to them. It was a next phase in bravery by cyber criminals to attack and threaten the Security Help Community. LOL. It is no secret that terrorism does same, and I am an eMinister of an eChurch (attacked).
