Thank you, everyone who responded.
The netbook doesn't have an optical drive.
I didn't want to take a chance on just copying files and leaving
behind critical invisible files.
I looked up Roger's suggestion of the free
winxpvirtualcdcontrolpanel_21, which is unsupported, and that led me
to daemon4303-lite which is a supported light, free version of a
commercial program. I installed and ran it, and it turned out that the
bin/cue file pair that I previously made using Toast 7, was recognized
and mounted by the daemon4303-lite! Success!
It also turned out that the disk was a collection of installers for
stuff that was already installed by MSI, so it didn't help me.
However, it was a great learning experience and I'm sure that I'll use
the technique for other disks. Thanks again.

Is it not possible to simply copy the files from the CD on the mac

to be on
the cd to work, but it may work this way also.

I use this on my wife's HP 1000 netbook to mount an ISO image for
one of her games. It has a facility to automount on bootup.
