I can mount without problems all kind of ISOS with the mount command, to a /tmp directory:
sudo mount -o loop my.iso /tmp/my_dir If I run ls -l command I get
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 abr 19 23:16 my_dyr Perfect.
But I have come to an issue with the Hiren's Boot ISO. I can mount it using the above command, but then the /tmp/my_dir is unaccesible! Running ls -l again i get
drwx------ 3 nobody 401 2048 nov 7 2012 my_dir I can't chmod or chown either.
I really don't know what is special about this particular ISO, or if is a feature of some ISOS I don't know about. Maybe somebody can enlighten me.
Thanks.
mountcommand after you've mounted Hiren's Boot ISO to check what the filesystem is set for mounted iso. I assume that this iso is mounted as iso9660 but you should force to mount this iso as UDF.sudo mount -t udf -o loop Hirens.BootCD.15.2.iso /tmp/isos_mount_dir/I getwrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other errorfile Hirens.BootCD.15.2.isoHirens.BootCD.15.2.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'HBCD 15.2' (bootable)nojoliet,unhideoptions when you will mount.
