Can't Mount ISO Files

Question

Hello.
Here's my problem.
Downloaded two zip files, one containing a file ending in "iso.1", the other one "iso.2". Deleted the numbers and left the files with "iso" endings.
Neither using Disc Utility, nor Toast Titanium, nor burning discs with those files and inserting them back into the computer could help mount them.
As the result, there is either a popup window saying no mountable files were found, or the mounted file contains a large audio track (it's supposed to be software!)
Any solutions, please?

I'm slightly confused about the circumstances under which you obtained these two files.
It sounds like you downloaded two different .zip files from some source, and unarchiving one of them resulted in a .iso.1 file, and the other resulted in a .iso.2 file.
And they're supposed to contain 1 piece of software between the two of them???
OK... in that case, I've got a couple suggestions:
1. first, try putting the .1 and .2 back and opening the first one in DiskUtility. If disk utility is disinclined to open it, launch disk utility, then drag the file to it's dock icon while holding apple-option (or something like that)
2. second, try concatenating the files. that would be wierd, but it's worth a try... to do this, open a new terminal window, and then type:
"cat "
(don't type the quotes in), then drag the first file (the one originally named .iso.1), then hit space, then drag in the second file (when you drag a file into the terminal, it will automatically fill in it's path in the terminal. if you're comfortable in the terminal and know what I mean, you can just type the path yourself.) then type:
">~/Desktop/newtestisofile.iso" (leave out the quotes again) and finally hit return. This will put the two files together into 1 on the desktop which will be called newtestisofile.iso, which you should try opening in diskutility
3. in the terminal again, type "file " and then drag in the first file, and hit return. post the output here so we can see it. do the same thing with the second file
4. just give us a link for this download, so that we can try directly, rather than having to tell you to try stuff.
