It is perfectly safe as it will use your internal memory (HDD) to emulate a Disk Drive(s) in order to run the CD(DVD)-image file from your hard drive.
Mounting with Toast on a Mac refers to mounting Toast's disk image or mirror. It tries to copy what the actual disk would be like so that the program can execute its processes.
No. A disk image copies a partition's contents, bit-for-bit, to the partition you are using, so if you are using a 40GB partition and are making a disk image of a separate 200GB partition inside of it, you are going to run out of room before the copy is complete.To those who are viewing this question and have expertise in partition access/mounting, please improve this answer by providing a different method of accessing/sharing data between partitions.
There is a process called disk duplication which is cloning the contents of one hard disk to another. This is done as installing a first computer, creating an image of the hard disk, and cloning the first disk, or its image, to other computers.

if the game is installed then click on the icon before mounting the image.... then it will say insert disk (like they always do..) mount it,,, then ur drive will probly be drive k/ and the game will be looking at F or ur regular pysical drive.. just browse for the virtual 1 and it will find the disk
Drive Image software is a disk cloning application. It creates a disk image file that contains an exact, byte for byte copy of a hard drive or partition.
The purpose of using a disk image is to emulate physical drives such as hard drives, CD and DVD drives. Using a disk image to clone a DVD drive allows one to play games without using the disc.
Laplink Disk Image is one recommended disk imaging software program. There are literally thousands of programs out there, not one necessarily the best out of them, and some examples include Clonezilla, Disk-Image and DriveImage Xml.

The Disc Utility found in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder can burn a Disc Image (See links below). A disk image is a single file containing the complete contents and structure representing a hard drive, floppy disk or CD etc. On a Mac downloaded software is often delivered as a disk image designated with the .dmg extension.
Most downloaded software for Mac is distributed using disk image (.dmg) files. When a .dmg downloads, it will 'mount,' meaning that it makes its content accessible via the Finder (the desktop) so that the user can either install or view the contents (just as if it were an actual disk). When the user is finished with the contents of the 'virtual disk,' it can then be 'ejected' and the .dmg file can be deleted. The same process occurs when an actual external drive (USB or Firewire HD, flash drive, or other media) is connected, although those devices actually mount, rather than virtually.
