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.
Instructions
The default 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
Other Formats
- Other formats of CD or DVD images can be converted to iso and then mounted as above.
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.
