playing .iso files?

[c-towns]

Does this look like what I need to do in order to play these files (.iso) or is there an easier way?

In order for this to work, use a virtual CD/DVD drive such as Magic Disc (freeware) since the software needs to run from the "L:" drive.

See below for some setup instructions. Currently used on Windows XP Pro.

1. Download and install a virtual CD/DVD drive such as Magic Disc (freeware).

2. Configure the virtual CD/DVD drive to use drive L:

3. Mount the .iso image

4. Run the setup program under the L: drive

5. When asked about connection setup, choose "no connection"

6. When asked about PACODE, just hit next.

7. I did not install Adobe or SVG viewer. Your install may differ.

You may be able to install if you burn to a DL DVD as long as you could change the drive to L:. I just use Magic Disc to prevent making expensive coasters. This install process worked for me repeatedly.

get Daemon Tools:

wicked program for disc images. It couldn't be any easier.

Yep. Daemon is the tool you want.

For what its worth, another easy ISO tool is imgburn. It'll burn ISO > DVD and is pretty quick.

any ISO file can be extracted with winISO...That way you don't need to burn if you don't want to, and you don't need to set up ghost CD/DVD drives.

I used Daemon a while back and my computer still thinks I have an extra CD/DVD drive.

winISO just treats the disc image like winZIP treats zip files...
