Image to have mounted .ISO image?

I'd like to use a mounted ISO image (a live image on DVD). I was able to create the VBox image, of course, and if I created a disk it was okay to import, but after import the ISO is no longer mounted. Where does the template live? Is it something I can edit the file on to re-add the ISO before cloning?

This use case has not been covered with VDI 3. We expect more or less to import a ready to go image, that can be directly used as desktop or replicated as template. The mounting of the DVD will disappear after import. Something to work on for a later release.

  • Can I mount .iso images directly into my file system ?

    Hello,
    I would like to install new Solaris releases as they are released, but I would rather not burn a set of 5 CDs for every new release just to update my system.
    I heard there is an 'upgrade install' in the Solaris installer, that will try to preserve my existing system, while installing a new Solaris release. Is it working ?
    I would like to download the .iso images, mount them during install, and use them like this to upgrade my system. Is it possible ?
    Thank you,
    Timothy Madden

    Oh, I meant I have looked on the man pages and on docs.sun.com and I found both tools as you said. But I did not upgraded already, that's going to take a while.
    First I need to make more room and I am still waiting answers on some other topic I started about physical disc slices.
    Live Upgrade looks like a lot of work, there are many search results about it and I would simply go for mounting .iso images after booting the miniroot with GRUB and then starting the installer. I am not 100% sure I can start the installer without booting with a real CD-ROM, but I think it should work.

  • MacBook Air, can I partition my Mac external drive to have an ISO image file location for Windows downloads?

    Hi, in preparation for installing bootcamp and windows 7, and in the absence of a DVD drive on my MacBook Air, can I partition my Mac external drive to have an ISO image file location for Windows downloads?

  • Mount iso image

    Hi,
    I wonder how to mount iso image on arch. mount -o loop image.iso /mnt/loop works perfect on slack, but not on arch. i tried  mount -o loop=image.iso /mnt/loop, but it asks /mnt/loop to be on fstab. I entered /dev/loop/0           /mnt/loop iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0 line on fstab, but there error "ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Inappropriate ioctl for device".

    # mount -o loop MapleSoft Maple 9.01.iso /mnt/loop
    mount: Not a directory
    # mount -o loop=MapleSoft Maple 9.01.iso /mnt/loop
    mount: can't find /mnt/loop in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
    After adding "/dev/loop/0           /mnt/loop iso9660   ro,user,noauto       0      0" to fstab:
    # mount -o loop=MapleSoft Maple 9.01.iso /mnt/loop
    ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Inappropriate ioctl for device
    It is very strange because mount -o loop MapleSoft Maple 9.01.iso /mnt/loop always worked perfect on other distros...

  • Mounted .iso file shows in Disk Utility, but inaccesible through finder

    Hello.
    I have an .iso file that used to mount flawlessly, but now when double clicked shows only in Disk Utility, while remaining inaccesible otherwise (finder hierarchy starting from computer should show all mounted drives, but this one is missing). Disk Utility doesn't find any errors. Is there any other way to find out what's wrong?
    thanks

    Do know the name of any file that is on the iso image? If so, do a Spotlight search on the file name and see if it show up. If it does, Command click on the result in the Spotlight list and see if the enclosing folder opens in Finder.

    PS--Forgot to aske: when you said "shows in Disk Utility" I'm assuming it is shown not just as existing, but as being mounted.

  • Hyper-V snapshots sometimes comes without mounted ISO

    Hello, all.
    We are running an automated tests with Microsoft Test Manager and SCVMM virtual environments. Recently we started to mount ISO images with file collections on VMs (we used to copy them to VMs from a network share, but it was too slow and caused timeouts and
    network share access problems).
    ISO images is being mounted via WMI Hyper-V Provider. The images are located in host's local folders (C:\ISO), which are also network shares being synced with "primary" share with DFS.
    The problem is: sometimes (I'd say in 1 case from 100) a virtual machine doesn't "see" mounted drive like it's ejected. But Hyper-V Manager shows correct "image file" in the VM's settings. Changing it to "None" and back to the
    same image file fixes the problem. 
    Is it a bug in Hyper-V? We even inserted an additional check: after calling WMI we also run dir D:\ to ensure the image is mounted. And it's there. And then it doesn't...
    Any suggestions other than re-mount an image every time it's needed :-) ?

    Hi,
    As the issue is specific with Hyper-V , you may contact Microsoft Hyper-V Forum  for further assistance on the issue:

  • Self-service users can mount iso but cannot unmount

    I have 3 tenant groups that can mount iso files to vms located in their clouds (via App Controller 2012 SP1) from a library share but cannot unmount them.  Actions granted to them are:  Deploy, Deploy (from template only), local administrator,
    remote connection, shut down, start, and stop. 
    The library share was originally shared on the server to everyone as read, adminstrators as full control.

    Ok this is not a great solution IMHO.  I believe this functionality needs to be split out.
    The solution for me was granting Deploy (from template), local admin, remote connection, remove, shut down, start, and stop.  Deploy allows mounting of the iso and remove allows unmounting.  Remove also allows vms to be deleted if they are off!!! 
    I can see the thinking here...self-service tenants with the capability to deploy new vms should also be able to remove them (within their tenant group and fabric space).  However, one size does NOT fit all.  These functions need to be split out for
    additional fine grain control. 
    ex:  I would love to allow certain application personnel to mount ISOs but NOT to delete vms. 

  • My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. ???

    My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5.  I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. How do I get it too recover it without paying for it again since I paid for it already and have projects in progress that need to be completed?

    1) Partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install Snow Leopard (with the Optional Rosetta) into it and then you can dual-boot (System Preferences:Startup Disk) into Snow Leopard and run FCE 3.5 there.
    2)  Use one of the following methods to install FCE 3.5 into Mavericks:
    a)  Pacifist:  http://www.charlessoft.com/
    b)  Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method:  http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
    Reports on this forum seem to confirm that Final Cut Studio 2 will continue to operate in Mavericks once it is functionally installed, albeit some plug-ins may fail to function.  FCE 3.5 is the same generation as FCS2, and presumably will continue to operate in Mavericks, as well.

  • What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso

    What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso...

    What are you trying to do?
    You can install Windows in a Boot Camp partition and have a Dual Boot system where you run one operating system at a time. Either Windows or Mac OS X.
    Or you can use one of the 3 available virtual machine software parograms to install Windows in a virtual machine on top of Mac OS X. Then you can run both Windows and OS X at the same time.
    If you go with the Boot Camp option then you really need to burn that ISO file onto a DVD disc as Boot Camp likes to install from disc.
    If you go with the virtual machine option then you can use that ISO file as it is to install Windows. You will just point the VM to the USB thumb drive to find the Windows OS to do the install from.

  • I have installed iso 7.02 and now my phone is locked help

    i have installed iso 7.02 and now my phone is locked help

    Do what it says, and plug the phone into a computer (preferably of course that one that has your backup info), and restore..
    You only lose everything if you have neglected to ensure that all your data is backed up. Which you will now do....

  • Have downloaded iso 7.0 to my iphone 4s everything works except when i click on  itunes store it opens but there is no content there

    Have downloaded iso 7.0 to my iphone 4s everything works except when i click on  itunes store it opens but there is no content there.Has anyone suffered the same glich or know a solution this problem?.Tanx

    Answer is no.
    If you want the iCloud backup you have to have n internet connection, thus WiFi.
    The not working WiFi has happened with quite a number of users.
    It is not exactly clear what is the cause but there are suggestions to clear it up:
    Some people have had success by removing an apostrophe from the iPhone name. If your iPhone is called something like “John’s iPhone” then this might work. Go to Settings > General > About > Name and change it to something with no apostrophe.
    Some people have reported success by putting the iPhone into Airplane mode and then going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, but the problem may return.
    You could also try going to Settings > Control Center and disable Access on Lock Screen then turn your iPhone off and on again.
    Make sure that your router firmware is up to date.
    Try backing up your iPhone and then restoring it. Check how to factory reset an iPhone for details.
    If nothing is working for you, try contacting Apple or take your iPhone into an Apple Store.
    Succes, Lex

  • Mounting iso image

    how do I mount an iso image?
    I tried :
    mount -o loop -t iso9660 ~/Desktop/adobe.iso /mnt
    but it gives an error like " No such file or directory" .
    I also tried burning the image to CD and inserted it doesn't recognize it.

    Kate--
    If you want to do it from Terminal, look at hdid:
    <pre class="command">hdid image.iso</pre>
    I tried it on an ISO I made to burn a DVD-Audio disc and it mounted. It mounts at /Volumes, if that's okay.
    And, taking Malcom's advice, if I double-click it, the image mounts on my Desktop...

  • Disk utility won't MOUNT .iso images to disk?

    For some reason Disk Utility started only showing a "to erase a rewritable cd or dvd so you can write it again" screen when i click on my dvd drive. I am trying to Mount a .iso file to a disk, It will let me "burn" the files to a disk, but that does me no good. I don't know what i did to mess this up, but i can't seem to figure out how to fix it. I downloaded Virtual DVD drive a while ago and i think it screwed it up. I am trying to mount a .iso file to a dvd to make a bootable disk, does anyone know what my problem might be?

    Don't use Disk Utility for this. Use DiskImageMounter, which will launch automatically when you double click the .iso file. If it doesn't, right click the .iso, select Open With, and choose DiskImageMounter.

  • Mount ISO in OS X?

    Hi folks. Just wondering if there is a way to mount and ISO image in OSX. If not, is there a program that can decompress it? Thanks.

    I have some Linux ISOs on my Mac. If I double-click on them in the finder, they mount and open. Doesn't work for your ISO?
    (Perhaps you could clarify about your need to "decompress" the ISO.)

  • Mount ISO as a virtual CD

    HI, i need a way to mount a .iso image as a CD to play a game in wine. I tried the wine way to use the drives directory but i have no success. The only way i had this work in linux was in ubuntu with Gmount-iso, ut in Arch with the gmount-iso from AUR i get an error(command not found, i had loaded the loop module so no idea why is not working. Is there a simple way to use mount and somehow link the folder with /dev or something to appear to be a real CD?
