Question "Unable to identify CD-ROM format"

I'm trying to mount an iso cd image, but I do not succeed. Google doesn't give any answers either. Can you help me?

Here's what I've tried:

Code:
thrix:/home/daan# mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/daan/cd.iso /mnt/iso
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

thrix:/home/daan# ls -l /mnt/iso
total 0
thrix:/home/daan# dmesg | tail

file cd.iso it will detect the file format.

thats the problem it's not a cd.iso image file its only data in an img file

check this link and when you extract the data succesfully make a cdiso from it with mkisofs.
extract .img - Ubuntu Forums

man dd
man mkisofs
