How to create and mount a CD image in windows
Creating a CD image in Windows
To create a CD image you will need to download and install the free iso recorder software. Once you have installed this program you insert a cd, right click your CD ROM drive's icon in my computer and select "Copy cd to image".
Copying a CD to an image file
In the next window you just insert the path to a new iso file for your cd image. Click next and iso recorder should begin to copy your cd to an image file.
Specifying the path and name of the cd image file
Mounting a cd image in windows
Windows does not offer out of the box functionality for mounting disk images like Linux. But Microsoft does make available an unsupported free utility that can create virtual CD ROM drives and mount cd images. MS calls it the Virtual CD ROM Control panel or, confusingly enough, VCD for short. Using VCD is pretty easy. Microsoft includes a readme.txt file that explains how you install and use the software.
The VCD utility window
The add drive button allows you to add virtual cd rom drives to Windows. You then mount images using the mount button. Simple!

I used Iso recorder to create an image of one of my games and then tried using Daemon tools to mount the image. it mounts and the autoplay menu pops up but wen I say "play" it asks me to insert the CD?What'd i do wrong?

The fact that the autoplay menu pops up indicates that the CD was correctly mounted. I think this particular CD your using has copy protection to prevent piracy. That is why you can't make an image that will satisfy the autoplay program.
