Mounting an image

[minesapint]

How can I mount an image file I've downloaded from the internet? The folder contains a .iso file. I've read about Magiciso amd Poweriso but they're trial versions and the file is grater than the trial version limit. Can someone take me through the steps I need to do in simple terms please?

Thanks

Do you want to mount it?

Or Burn it to CD

Thanks ChuckFickens. I'm a bit confused about this as the instructions I've got say:

"Mount Image With Poweriso,Magiciso or what ever Image tool That You Use. Run the setup. Enter this key."

I really don't know if I need to burn the file to a disc using the instructions above, The problem is that I do need a disc as I want to install the program on another PC that's not at home with me.

How do I interpret the instructions?

ISO's are a image of a CD (or DVD) and they can be used in two ways.

Mounting them makes the computer think there is another (virtual) CD drive in the computer with the CD the ISO was made from inserted in it, this enables people to use ISO files without actually having to recreate an identical copy of the original CD by burning them onto a CDR

Burning the ISO just makes an exact copy of the original CD onto a blank CDR

If you want to use the CD on other computers then you want to burn the ISO onto a disk using the second link.

For goodness sake ..
You are supposed to know about computers, right?

Just use the Microsoft Drive emulator .. free .. and tiny.
Follow the instructions.
Mount the image and run it as you wish.
