In summary, a toast image is a type of image file used in Windows to create virtual drives or mountable disks. To create one, you can use built-in tools like "Disk Image Burner" or third-party software. These images can be opened and viewed by mounting them as virtual drives or using disk image editing software. They can also be burned onto physical disks, but may have limitations such as only being accessible by the same operating system and potential compatibility issues with third-party software.
