Such a tool has been put out by Microsoft before, but as new versions of Windows come they break compatibility as the driver needs to change with the version. If you become dependent on such a feature (I don't want to use up writable disks if I don't have to) you tend to need to rely on some adware laced software until something better comes around, and probably has a few problems. (Like giving no error message when hard drive images attempt to load, which I have to find another program for.) Not to many people need it, but those that do just require that it exist for their version of Windows and that they can find it fairly easily.
