Convert .e01 to run on VMware

@jaclaz OSFMount is great but only mounts E01 as logical file systems. Whilst it does offer the option to mount the "entire" image, it then insists on then allocating a drive letter to it. The result is a chimera which isn't accessible as an emulated physical drive and is thus somewhat useless.

(unless I missed something?)

Do have a look at the time/date I posted that piece of info roll , nowadays there are other (better) tools/ways, AIM was first released almost one year later that post.

And the suggestion was anyway to convert the image to RAW, and make a descriptor file for it [1], never to use the .E01 "directly".

Yuriksoft revived a 6 years old thread in order to promote his/her US$ 19.95 Commercial software that seemingly fills a gap by allowing an "automatic" mounting in VmWare without convertng anything, nor creating a descriptor file for the .E01 mounted in FTK imager, mapped as physicaldrive (as EntT suggested).

And of course I know about that recent thread, I posted there.
