=== Mounting without burning === [[File:Vbox160debian.jpg|thumb|Virtual [[OpenBSD]] machine configuration in [[VirtualBox]] with live image file (''6.3-Release-i386-bootonly.iso'')]] The files on a live CD [[ISO image]] can be accessed in [[Microsoft Windows]] with a [[disk image emulator]] such as [[Daemon Tools]], or in [[Unix]] variants by mounting a [[loop device]]. Later versions of Windows (i.e. Windows 8 and later), and software available for earlier versions, allow an ISO to be mounted as a volume. After mounting the live CD's filesystem, software on the live CD can be run directly, without booting it, by [[chroot]]ing into the mounted filesystem. A live CD ISO image can also be mounted by [[Virtual Machine]] software such as [[VirtualBox]] and [[VMware Workstation]] or can be converted to a [[Live USB]] using [[SYSLINUX]]. [[List of tools to create Live USB systems|Special tools]] can automate this process.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USB%20Installation%20Media | title = USB Installation Media - UNetbootin | website = community.ubuntu.com | publisher = Ubuntu Community | access-date = 11 February 2014 | archive-date = 22 February 2014 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140222030330/https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USB%20Installation%20Media | url-status = live }}</ref>
