Request ISO mount
I'm looking for a .pet I can use to mount ISO files and use. Kind of like Virtual CloneDrive or MagicISO;

Right now I'm using Dpup Stretch 7.5 (32bit)

You simply navigate to the ISO in your file-manager of choice, then single click on its icon to "mount" it.
A new window opens and you can then copy over any or all of its contents as you wish, to a different folder, in the normal way.
Then, when you're done, you must once again click on the ISO icon to "unmount" it, which closes the new window.
Is this what you were looking to do?

If you mean that you want to boot directly from the ISO, look at IsobooterSolusUmbra wrote:What if I don’t want to copy it but run it?
EDIT: Or use something like virtualbox to run the ISO from inside the OS you are using.

When I clicked to mount it, it says it’s failed.
I found a programs called AcetoneISO and it worked to mount and open th iso file. I’ve been told that it might say iso but might not be a real iso file..... and that some day I might want to see if there is a way to convert it to a real iso so Linux can use it without a secondary problem.

You can try from command-line in terminal, something like:
(change "/path/to/name.iso" to what it is in reality for you)
If it doesn't work, there should be some error message.
EDIT: To unmount:
Fred
Code: Select all
mkdir -p /root/isomount
mount -t iso9660 -o loop "/path/to/name.iso" /root/isomount
If it doesn't work, there should be some error message.
EDIT: To unmount:
Code: Select all
umount /root/isomount

Ok here is what I got;

missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.

Mmm.. strange, looks like there's something special about this iso, maybe try without specifying the type:
Or specify "-t auto":
If none works, I'm out of ideas.
Fred
Code: Select all
mkdir -p /root/isomount
mount -o loop "/path/to/name.iso" /root/isomount
Code: Select all
mkdir -p /root/isomount
mount -t auto -o loop "/path/to/name.iso" /root/isomount

Methinks it's not an ISO file. The fact that "file" command returns "data" is a clue.
There are many "cdimage" formats which aren't iso, e.g. BIN/CUE format, NRG format, and many others. These format may contain an ISO inside (e.g. a BIN/CUE image may be contain an ISO image inside), but as far as "mount" is concerned, it is __NOT__ an ISO.
There is a way to handle these non-ISO formats, but each requires specialised programs.
