Mounting Iso

[sagnard]

Ok so im new and have been trying to figure out wine and iso mounting for like 3 days i need a step by step guide on how to do this the things i need to mount are in /home/patches/downloads/diablo 2 full game with expansion

and thats the folder in which the iso files are in and first i need to mount "diablo 2 install disk.iso" how do i do this step by step please

and im using linux helena or thats what it's called on the boot menu

Hello and Welcome.
This is just an example..you need to create your own mount point but for this example I am using /mnt/test as the mount point

mount -o loop -t iso9660 filename.iso /mnt/test

[sagnard]

lol thats what everyone says so i still don't understand thats why i gave the files and where they were so i could get a very very detailed instruction

and when i do that with the dir i made which was

sudo mkdir /mnt/diablo2

so i used

sudo mount -o loop diablo 2 install disk.iso /mnt/diablo2

and i get this

Usage: mount -V : print version
mount -h : print this help
mount : list mounted filesystems
mount -l : idem, including volume labels
So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
mount device : mount device at the known place
mount directory : mount known device here
mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command
Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
mount --bind olddir newdir
or move a subtree:
mount --move olddir newdir
One can change the type of mount containing the directory dir:
mount --make-shared dir
mount --make-slave dir
mount --make-private dir
mount --make-unbindable dir
One can change the type of all the mounts in a mount subtree
containing the directory dir:
mount --make-rshared dir
mount --make-rslave dir
mount --make-rprivate dir
mount --make-runbindable dir
A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid .
Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].
For many more details, say man 8 mount .

Ok...you need to change the actual name of the .iso you are trying to mount.
I would use the tab button for this trick...like this. First of all, make sure you are in the correct directory with the .iso.
Type
sudo mount -o loop diabl (press the tab button once and it should automagically finish the filename for you.) then you finish the command with /mnt/diablo2 (press enter)

[sagnard]

well that is much better but now there is a new problem how do i make sure im in the right directory and when i put in sudo mount -o diabl(tab) nothing happened

[MikeTbob]

Suppose you downloaded the file to /home/sagnard/diablo2
cd /home/sagnard/diablo2

[MikeTbob]

Maybe that trick doesn't work with sudo or whatever....do it manually....open a terminal window and issue these commands.
suppose you downloaded the iso to /home/sagnard/diablo2, use the dir command to get the correct filename.
dir
You'll notice a name similar to diablo\ 2\ install\ disk.iso. That's what you need to type for the command to work. You need to use the correct spelling, Caps, slashes, everything.

[sagnard]

sudo mount -o loop diablo\ 2\ install\ disk.iso /mnt/diablo2
[sudo] password for patches:
diablo 2 install disk.iso: No such file or directory

ok so i was messing around getting assistance from others and i was told to use the archive mounter which is a wonderous idea except the install disk.iso and the playdisk.iso won't mount however the cinematics one will???????


could you run a iso mounting software on wine?
