How to mount an iso image from command line in Linux?

We have to mount iso images as  virtual drives especially in order to play some games.To create a virtual drive in windows is too easy because there are lot of programs available out there like Daemon Tools and creating virtual drives with them is simply a cakewalk.You can also create virtual drives in Linux. I will tell you how to mount iso images in Linux from the command line.

In order to mount iso images in Linux, you can use the mount command.But you must log in as root in order to run this command. First, you should have an iso image located somewhere in your hard-disc. I have an iso image named “mydisc.iso” located at home/user/mydisc.iso. So I want to mount it at /media/iso.

To mount iso image do the following:

Type in the command mount-o-loop/home/user/mydisc.iso/media/iso. This will mount mydisc.iso at media/iso.

In order to unmount the iso, you can use the unmount command. To unmount the iso image we have created above simply type in unmount/media/iso.
I hope you have learned something new.
