Mounting larger iso files

MariaLara · Post by **MariaLara** » 17 Dec 2008, 12:37

cats maybe see if it is the right iso format
file rld-fou3.iso

if it is the command bb told you should have worked. I think. *shrugs*

No but, VMware doesn't work really good with games, and especially not the newer ones ^^

Also, going around the issue is unacceptable =/

Yes I know VMware is slow, but you said "Why run Windows on VMware on a computer that runs Windows?

" which i would think means you are allready running windows and possibly Linux under VMware. What kind of set up are you working with? I have mounted many multi gig files with no problem. It may explain why you cant mount the file if you are running windows under a vmware linux system, with windows as your main sys

nono, I don't run VMware at all, you suggested that I should run Windows on VMware on my lappy, but my lappy already runs Windows, thus me making that statement that it's no use doing that.

I have checked the ISO file on another computer btw, works fine there ... but still can't mount it here, and I honestly have NO clue how to solve it atm (no time to look for an answer either)

ok sorry i must have gotten confused because you posted this in the linux/unix forum, but just said you run windows on the pc

so i said vmware running windows because i assumed your pc was running linux since you posted it in this forum. not to mention you posted linux commands that you tried to mount it with.

I beleive this is what you are talking about that i said "run windows on VMware just for that game and you should be golden" there maybe a communication gap or something.. i meant running windows on your linux system useing a vmware.

no worries ^^ thanks for the suggestion =)

No but I don't want to run VMware to solve the issue, because that would be cheating

You could try cdemu: http://cdemu.sourceforge.net/

It supports a lot of image formats I think.

was it linux?
It is showing just data because on linux, it's not detected as proper iso file. which is why it didn't mount.

No, it's just happens to be named like that

Yeah Linux. Yeah I figured that, but according to Windows, it is a valid ISO file, I'll try to convert it in Linux, I'll write here again when I've tested.
