Mounting ISO Files
Introduction
An IsoImage is an image of a CD or DVD disk that can be stored on your computer and used to write to a new disk. It is a simple process to mount an iso image under Ubuntu.
GUI
You can install the GUI called gIsoMount using ["Synaptic"].
Command Line Instructions
The default [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_point mount point] under linux is under /media. To mount an iso file here do the following:
sudo mkdir /media/cdimage sudo mount -o loop myfile.iso /media/cdimage
Where myfile.iso is replaced with the file you want to mount. To mount the image so that it can be written to do the following instead:sudo mkdir /media/cdimage sudo mount -o rw,loop myfile.iso /media/cdimage
To unmount the image do this:sudo umount /media/cdimage rmdir /media/cdimage
Convert Other Formats To ISO
- Other formats of CD or DVD images can be converted to iso and then mounted as above.
.img files can be converted to iso using ccd2iso.
ccd2iso imagen.img imagen.iso
}
Nero image (.nrg) files can either be converted to iso using nrg2iso or mounted directly using mount.
To mount using mount:
sudo mkdir /media/cdimage sudo mount -o loop,offset=307200 myfile.nrg /media/cdimage
To install nrg2iso:
sudo apt-get install nrg2iso
To convert to iso using nrg2iso:
nrg2iso myfile.nrg myfile.iso
Cue/Bin image (.cue/.bin) files must be converted. This can be done using bchunk.
To install bchunk:
sudo apt-get install bchunk
To convert to iso using bchunk:
bchunk myfile.bin myfile.cue myfile
Clone CD (.ccd/.img/.sub) files must be converted. This can be done using ccd2iso. The package for this program is extremely unstable and has been taken from the Ubuntu forums http://www.ubuntuforums.org. It is also only packaged for Pentium (i386) systems. You can also compile from the source using the guide on ManageDiscImages.
To install ccd2iso download the package http://rarewares.org/debian/packages/unstable/ccd2iso_0.2-0.1_i386.deb. Then install the package:
sudo dpkg -i ccd2iso_0.2-0.1_i386.deb
To convert to iso using ccd2iso
ccd2iso myfile.img myfile.iso
Alcohol 120% image (.mdf) files can either be converted to iso using mdf2iso or mounted directly using mount.
To mount using mount:
sudo mkdir /media/cdimage sudo mount -o loop=/dev/loop0 myfile.iso /media/cdimage
To install mdf2iso:
sudo apt-get install mdf2iso
To convert to iso using mdf2iso:
mdf2iso myfile.mdf myfile.iso
A couple of other image formats can be found on the help page ManageDiscImages.
Other Options
cdemu is a kernel module for mounting Cue/Bin files directly. To install it you would have to setup LinuxHeader s, compile the module and ["modprobe"] it. This is out of the scope of this page. There is a script under development in the Ubuntu forums for automating the building of cdemu http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=149963. (Use this at your own risk.)
