Mount .ISO using the terminal

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 47017 / 2 Years ago, wed, april 13, 2022, 9:12:04

i've been trying to mount an .iso according to a guide i read here, but every time i run the command sudo mount -o loop /home/varbo/Downlaods/Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.iso /media/iso i get the same (usage) error:

Usage: mount -V                 : print version



... usage and options deleted ....



Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].

For many more details, say  man 8 mount .

Any kind of help would be appreciated.

The problem here's that you can't have spaces among the command or the terminal interprets it as a separate command/statement, what you have to do is rather simeple, just rename your file from Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.iso to Windows_7_Ultimate_SP1.iso, and do the same with command.

The command should look like this sudo mount -o loop /home/varbo/Downlaods/Windows_7_Ultimate_SP1.iso /media/iso

I hope this helps, good luck.
