In order to open the mdf file, hover your mouse over the icon for Daemon Tools, click the right mouse button and select CD/DVD-ROM, then mount image, then locate the file and click open.

A good alternative to this program for many years is Alcohol 120%. You can use this program in case if your computer is not powerful enough – this program is not loaded in the system tray and consumes less memory than Daemon Tools. In order to open the mdf file, install this program on your computer and run it. Unfortunately, it is a shareware program after the trial period expires, you will be prompted to activate it. Without that Alcohol 120% will not work. Running the program, note the bottom panel, where you will notice the list of virtual drives. Select one of them, hover your mouse, click the right mouse button and click on mount image. Then find the file format mds, since to download the mdf to mount have it, open it, then you will be downloading a disk image.

Select the desired file, click open, and then the disk image loaded in a virtual drive.
