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...

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...

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.

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.

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:

Can you provide 9i & 9iAS iso image files for download next time?

I've download 9i & 9iAS for Linux,
and I've burned them into CDs.
When I tried to install 9i from mounted CD, it failed,
I've tried several times(waste lots of CDs), but none of them working.
There's nothing I can do about it except install it from extracted files.
can you Oracle guys provide an iso images for public download?
since people can create CDs or simply install them from a mounted iso image on Linux if they don't like.
Thanks

Hi mcg-
You would shift click each file to select them

Error trying to mount the DVD to a network based ISO image in Windows 2008 Hyper-V RC0

Greetings,
When I try to configre the guest OS settings to mount the CD/DVD drive to an ISO image I have setting on a file share, I consistently get an error. The only time I have been able to mount an ISO since upgrading to RC0 (I don't remember if I tested this in the BETA) is when the ISO is locally on the Windows 2008 Hyper-V server.
To be specific, I get the following error:
Virtual Machine Connection (title of the window)
Inserting the disk failed.
Failed to add device 'Microsoft Virtual CD/DVD disk'.
User account does not have sufficient privelage to open attachment '\\remoteserver\share\ISONAME.ISO'.
Error: 'General access denied error'
'NEWGUESTOSNAME' failed to add device 'Microsoft Virtual CD/DVD Disk'. (VMID 26C8B66F-5D3F-47F9-9D80-474D0F778522)
'NEWGUESTOSNAME': User Account does not have sufficient privelage to open attachement '\\remoteserver\share\ISONAME.ISO'.
Error: 'General access denied error' (0x80070005). (VMID 26C8B66F-5D3F-47F9-9D80-474D0F778522)
I am not sure what credentials it is using. It looks almost like it is using the new computer name as credentials or something like that. The account I am logged in as at the time is a Domain Admin and has access to every server and every share. I can browse to the ISO just fine through the Hyper-V Insert Disk function, it just won't take.
I have checked the Hyper-V server settings and the Guest OS settings and can't find where to specifcy what account to use to connect to remote ISOs. Anyone have any clue on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for the various replies.
Understood it is an issue with the Hyper-V server computer account getting the files, and not the actual guest OS. At this point I think I will just copy some ISO's to the server. I did note the last time I used a "local" ISO that I had to manually type out the local path to the files on the server, as when I tried to browse to the local server drives through the console I got an error about connecting to the local server (which wasn't really local) through the network drives. I don't remember the exact error, but I know I couldn't get it to point to the ISO on the D:\ drive through the browse feature, but rather I just typed out the path and it was fine. That too seems like a bit of a buy/annoyance as I should be able to browse files local to the Hyper-V server, and not have to type out the path.
I guess I would ask MSFT to consider changing the behavior of the console just a little before RTM if it is being run remotely against the Hyper-V server, versus locally on it, if the permissions being used to get to the remote files are going to be different depending. I.E. It is not intuitive that the same exact action in the same exact console would behave any differently when the console is run on the Hyper-V server versus remotely against the Hyper-V server. I.E. Add in a pop-up when remotely connected to the Hyper-V server to let the user know that some permissions may not proxy through (or whatever verbiage you want to use).
This will pop-up more and more as people like me try to deploy Hyper-V on Core servers, and they used Hyper-V on a normal Windows 2008 server previously.
Thanks!

Iso image not wanting to mount

is anyone else having problems getting a iso image to mount and burn in disc utility. I am trying to burn a linux distro. It kicks back with a error saying unable to mount

I'd try mounting a different ISO file. A file can get damaged during the download, or even during it's creation. If you have a problem with more than one file, then maybe you have a system or user problem that can be addressed.
Maybe if you provide a link to the distro someone will download it and check the file and see if it burns. Every file is different.

Feature request: Include tool to mount disk images as virtual drives

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.

I have indeed, Gordon.
Thanks.

Just use the tool from Microsoft for XP.
This is from the readme.txt:
1. Copy VCdRom.sys to your %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder.
2. Execute VCdControlTool.exe
3. Click "Driver control"
4. If the "Install Driver" button is available, click it. Navigate to the %systemroot%\system32\drivers folder, select VCdRom.sys, and click Open.
5. Click "Start"
6. Click OK
7. Click "Add Drive" to add a drive to the drive list. Ensure that the drive added is not a local drive. If it is, continue to click "Add Drive" until an unused drive letter is available.
8. Select an unused drive letter from the drive list and click "Mount".
9. Navigate to the image file, select it, and click "OK". UNC naming conventions should not be used, however mapped network drives should be OK.
The donwload link is http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/b/6/7b6abd84-7841-4978-96f5-bd58df02efa2/winxpvirtualcdcontrolpanel_21.exe
And YES! It works on Windows 7! Can you believe that?

Okay, more downloading to do. I will test it on the 64 bit version.

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.)

How to create ISO images for Solaris 10 U6 (10/08) SPARC CD 1 and DVD

The format of the bootable DVD and CD 1 of Solaris 10 U6 sparc has changed from previous Solaris 10 update's sparc media, it now seems to be more like the x86 format, can anyone provide the new/specific mkisofs command to use to recreate (modified version) a sparc bootable ISO image file of these from their "unloaded" directory paths, I'm guessing the mkisofs command is going to be similiar what's used for recreating Solaris 10 x86 DVD and CD1.

Alan,
Thanks for info, when I try this mkisofs command to recreate the Sol 10 U6 CD 1 ISO image I end up 16 KB short of the original downloaded ISO size of Sol 10 U6 CD 1, the generated ISO image when burn to CD doesn't boot, I tried using both mkisofs version that comes with Sol 10 U6 & version *2.01.01a53*, here's the test I did:
mount Sol 10 U6 CD 1 as /mnt (CD 1 burned from downloaded ISO from Sun that is *512904 KB* in size)
mkisofs -G /mnt/boot/hsfs.bootblock -B ... -l -ldots -R -N -D -V SOL_10_1008_SPARC -o test.iso /mnt
Genereated ISO image file test.iso is *512888 KB* in size and doesn't boot when burned to CD with error messages:
Can't read disk label.
Can't open disk label package
ERROR: boot-read fail
Any ideas?

Mac software for editing .iso images?

All --
Call me blind, but I have been searching Google for a fair amount of time and cannot come up with a single software title for the Mac that allows .iso image editing. (Editing = the ability to open and add/remove files from the iso, and then re-burn it.) Windows users have programs like MagicISO (http://www.magiciso.com/) but there doesn't seem to be a Mac equivalent.
Can anyone offer a suggestion?
Now, in many forums contributors have suggested using 'hdiutil' from the terminal, like 'hdiutil mount -readwrite image.iso' but it doesn't work. To quote the man page: "+-readwrite :: *attempt to override* the DiskImages framework's decision to attach a particular image read-only.+ "
Note the bold text. It is only an attempt, not a guarantee.
Anyway, I can't be the first person to try this. Any thoughts?

Iso image playing in windows, but not in mac

torrent site for the iso image is:
http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/119383481/ccie?tab=summary#.UGby8mg1FFI
it's a cisco network concept tutorial, it is playing on a windows laptop on windows xp, vista or 7.
I understand that wmv player cannot be played in mac osx, there is a suggestion to run either wine or flip4mac
wine, i am so sorry to be a pain but I get keep getting error messages during installation and it is not successful.
flip4mac I was able to install but I can't seem to make the iso work,
it mounts perfectly displaying 3 files:
autorun.inf
files
index.hta
clicking index.hta will display the website with all the lessons on the left side, click on it and it will play the video on the website, it works on windows but I can't seem to make it work in Safari.
I tried Opera, the website seems to appear but not all of the words, when I click for the lessons on the left side, it only opens an opera browser on a black blank browser.
Please help since I have just shifted to Mac this month, I tried Mac because I believe I can run GNS3 better in it.
Pardon for my MAC ignorance,
from your MAC noob.

It reformatted itself? I've never heard of that before.
Like I said earlier, if the iPod is Windows formatted it should work on a Mac because Macs are capable of handling FAT32 files. If it's Mac formatted it won't work on Windows without the aid of 3rd party add on software.
I'm still puzzled as to whether or not you need to sync the iPod to iTunes on both Mac and Windows computers.
Have you seen these?
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop.
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X.
iPod appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes.
