For windows boxes you can use a software called "virtual clone drive". With this software you do not have to burn the ISO in to DVD or CD. You just mount them and use. Do a search using google or yahoo to find the same.
Micorsoft also has a tool called "virtualcd control panel" which you can use to mount cd's. http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/b/6/7b6abd84-7841-4978-96f5-bd58df02efa2/winxpvirtualcdcontrolpanel_21.exe HTH, Natarajan >>> John McKown <[email protected]> 4/1/2009 9:47 AM >>> On Wed, 1 Apr 2009 09:32:13 -0700, Craig Bakken <[email protected]> wrote: >Now that we are using electronic delivery for all of our maintenance a lot of >documentation is coming on files with a ISO file extension. I am wondering how >other sites are handling these files? Personally, since I use Linux, I simply do a "loop" mount of the ISO file. Something like: sudo mount file.with.doc.iso /mnt -oro,loop I can then look in the /mnt subdirectory for the documentation. If I need to get this on a Windows platform, then I use "zip" to zip the /mnt subdirectory to a file and ftp it to my mainframe, then back down to the Windows server (my Linux box is not use any Windows shares to do a direct transfer). Otherwise, get a DVD burner and software, and burn the ISO to a physical CD or DVD and use that on your Windows machine. I don't know of any way to mount an ISO file as a subdirectory in Windows. -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html NOTICE OF CONFIDENTIALITY The information contained in this communication, including but not limited to any accompanying document(s) and/or attachment(s), is privileged and confidential and is intended solely for the above-named individual(s).
