Alvin, I am confused. Not sure I can figure out what you are trying to do.
So, here is my guess: 1. The netbook has no internal DVD drive, and you don't have an external one you could hook up. 2. You want to make the DVD available "as a DVD" to the Windows XP netbook. 3. In which case, you are correct that XP, unlike the Mac or Linux, can't natively mount a disk image (usually distributed as a .ISO file for cross-platform compatibility, or many other formats that are used by specific software or the like). 4. I don't know enough about Windows to say if there is decent freeware to do this. I know there are products out there you can buy. Probably a Google search, or someone more knowledgeable on the list. 5. I suspect that if you just transferred the file structure to the netbook hard drive, that it would more or less act the same as if you had mounted it as another drive. So that may be worth trying.
