You cannot mount a split image if its files are stored on separate removable disks. However you can mount such image if you copy all the files into one folder on a hard disk.

Note: While R-Drive Image is mounting an image, Windows itself may install additional software required to run the virtual logical disks correctly. In this case follow Windows on-screen instructions.
