Mount a CD image to a directory

ISO CD images
Mounting a CD image in ISO format (eg. image.iso) is quite straightforward. Just execute the following in the terminal:
sudo mkdir /media/iso
sudo mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop image.iso /media/iso

Other CD images
For other types of CD images such as NRG, BIN/CUE, MDF, CDI, CCD/IMG or C2D; you should first convert them to ISO and then mount them as described above. Fortunately, a nice and neat application exists for that purpose: KIso.

  1. First, install KIso by executing the following:
    sudo apt-get install kiso
  2. Open KIso by running sudo kiso. Now click on CD Image -> Convert Image and select the image (eg. image.bin) to convert.
    Convert image using KIso
  3. An ISO version of the image (image.iso) is now available in the original image’s directory. You can now execute the procedure described in ISO CD images.
