What is the crowd's opinion of OSFMount?

From 3.5 billion comments

I totally sympathize and I ran into the same problem a while back. I was a long time user of Daemon Tools. :(

I switched over to OSFMount. It is not precisely like Daemon Tools but it isn't bloated, has no ads and works with more filetypes. Highly recommended.

If the drive spins, make an image, ddrescue or http://www.osforensics.com/tools/create-disk-images.html Then mount the image with http://www.osforensics.com/tools/mount-disk-images.html and try to recover the data. Try http://www.disk-partition.com/ - has a partition rescue tool.

Nah, you can use Disk Utility to create a "read only" disk image of the Windows partition, rename it to .img, and use something like OSFMount in Windows to mount it.

There's other software you can use if you're trying to edit an SD image on Windows. I use OSFMount, which allows me to use the image as if it were a real SD card. Just make sure you unmount the image before you fire up Dolphin.

I was manipulating image files just last night. If you give me a couple of minutes to find the program I installed to windows to mount and read a raspberry pi image (even though it was an ext partition) that'd let you mount and delete what you don't want. You could then get to another Linux machine (even use a live boot disk if needed) and truncate the image. Again, when I'm at my PC I'll provide a link to a page I looked at which talked about shrinking them. (I was expanding, but I still used the same commands)
