In 2020 this video proved to be the most useful I have seen on You Tube. This is a testament to how a quality video can stand the test of time. The pace indicates that Eli knows his subject well and is able to deliver it slowly and confidently. A great example of how it should be done.
Eli you are a life saver, not even a week back i needed to mount an .iso extension file and didn't know what software to use, without using a CD and now you tell me the secret :D
I know it's now 2015, but, I've just come across your great video and the WinCDEmu programme. Brilliant. Nero was not burning the Windows10 .iso file. So, I've used WinCDEmu to open up the .iso file and extract the programme files. Many thanks, indeed.
Maybe this was mentioned below, but people might not see that windows 8 has this built in, it has limited file extension supported but it has the ability, that's where i recommend PowerISO
thank you so much! With my network computer we have been frustrated. Now i can get my family to convert disks to .iso files and I can now play the old games i love so much!
Thanks a great deal Eli.Your explanation on How to Mount ISO is the best. The rest I could not understand what they were talking about. I was having a hard time with a download.Thanks again.
I have always been a tech savvy person myself, but I found this to be very helpful. Do you have videos that tell you how to make those ISO files into bootable USB drives or Cd/DVDs?
Hello Eli, I am currently rocking a Timex Sinclair 1000 with 16K Ram Expansion Kit and thinking about upgrading. I am currently looking at the Atari 800 or Commodore 64. I will mostly be using my computer for BASIC programming. As far as gaming goes I am a console player and happy with my Atari 2600. Thanks!
I love your channel and use it as one of a few tools to study for my Security +. My question is... The software mentioned here was for mounting, but what is your preferred software for creating iso files?
thanx computer guy that was one of the best explanations of something being explained it actually caused me to comment! well done now I know what an ISO file is thnx buddy!!!
Yes that is a possibility but the speed will now be a concern since its much faster to do it over a storage device that is part of the overall hardware rather than relying on a Ethernet cable, but it can definitely be highly productive in a business environment when it comes to upgrading multiple systems.
actually, the usb has to be mounted before you can copy the files to it. Not sure about windows, but If you're on linux create a mount point mkdir /mnt/usbstick ...then mount the usb drive mount /dev/sdb1 mnt/usbstick if you're unsure of the drive letter, check with lsblk ...then you go into bios and set it up to boot from the usb.
Not really, but I think you may be able to do something like a preboot execution environment that lets you install over a network interface, independantly of storage devices, but it's not software per se
Hmmm, I see your point. Then that's a good question :-), I don't know how this software could possibly achieve that without re-partitioning your drive, which means you loose all your data.
It's neat software, but I don't think we're quite ready to ditch usb flash drives, especially in personal computing with USB 3.0, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. It's hard to beat. But his vids are all about business solutions so I guess if you're in an enterprise settings and you have to do 100's of systems, there's some benefit in the software. Or we can just wait until fiber-optics really take off
I believe what he is saying is that the Emu program isn't installed on your computer. But the Iso image can be ran on your computer. The emu just makes it easier to be able to access the ISO file without needing a CD or DVD. Hopefully I interpreted right lol.
Excellent easy to understand vid but i do have a question? What is the difference between WINEmu and DAEMON tools lite? Most guys that download torrents to get games and software use DAEMON tools lite. Both of these programs are free but i would like to use the easiest version?
hello I did enjoy your video, the problem is the nero software keeps copying an .iso without interpeting the image installed a new dvd and nero 2014 it still not works now all freebsd is all the drives is FreeBSD 10 if new video on how to use the and install FreeBSD
I downloaded the TOOL... I have one computer, and it works GREAT! I have several mounted GAMES. I tried doing this on my GF's Laptop, and it will NOT work... help?
Why do you need to mount the .iso file? Can you not just double click on the .iso file itself and have it run as if the physical CD was in the computer?
So how does this help me actually get data from a CD to a virtual disc? I've got a CD in my external drive F- I click on it and it shows me all the folders on the disc, but no way can I get the entire disc put onto a virtual disc as ISO (or anything else). Any ideas?
Eli, Things get a bit confusing here. First you say the computer has no cd drive and then you say you can install the image on the computer. You did not say how?. You skipped a few steps.
+Joe Darvish You can download .iso files off the internet. Or if you have another computer WITH an optical drive, you can put in the CD and then copy the .iso file onto a USB.
hey eli mine says it blocked why? i tried other iso softwares and they cant open them either and i tried many iso's but still nothing, i just installed windows 8.1 on a separate hard drive, on my other hd i have windows 7 ultimate 64bit it works fine but this one nothing can ya help?
I have to admit while in pro at most computer tech I had no clue on how to do this and I have over 3 years of experience lol a bit embarrassing thanks a lot
I lost CD one of my mac OS. So I havent been able to start fresh for a while. now I think i could potentially download it so I can reformat. Same with my ableton disc. I have the program installed, and the library disc, but no way to reinstall. =)

your video was the only one on RUclips that was able to help me figure out how to install it. never did this before until today thanks so much!!!!
Eli you are a life saver, not even a week back i needed to mount an .iso extension file and didn't know what software to use, without using a CD and now you tell me the secret :D
His confidence is astonishing. I like that.

You are the coolest computer guy on RUclips!
This is an excellent presentation, it is still relevant today... with Rufus and Etcher.
How do you get the mount if you're doing 2 disc to go from one disk to the other to install the disk thanks
thank you so much! With my network computer we have been frustrated. Now i can get my family to convert disks to .iso files and I can now play the old games i love so much!
Awesome, Eli. Thanks for being clear, straight-forward, and a contribution with this video.
Thanks! This is what I was looking for. I am using it right now and have no problem so far.
BEST TECH GUY IN THE WORLD.
Thanks a great deal Eli.Your explanation on How to Mount ISO is the best. The rest I could not understand what they were talking about. I was having a hard time with a download.Thanks again.
Thanks,,,,One of the most effective helps. The "small talk" put things into perspective and reinforced my understanding.
I have always been a tech savvy person myself, but I found this to be very helpful. Do you have videos that tell you how to make those ISO files into bootable USB drives or Cd/DVDs?
best yt channel in the whole world
Good knowledge of basic nuts and bolts tools is always important. Thank

I love your channel and use it as one of a few tools to study for my Security +.
My question is... The software mentioned here was for mounting, but what is your preferred software for creating iso files?
you did this in 2 command lines.Eli makes a 10 min video about this topic.i think i will go for the command lines.
thanx computer guy that was one of the best explanations of something being explained it actually caused me to comment! well done now I know what an ISO file is thnx buddy!!!
Thanks man, it was a tremendous help. Definitely will check out other videos you have. Take care.
Eli is a mountain of knowledge!!
Will start to learn it tomorrow, lets be patient pips! Godbless us haha
Yes that is a possibility but the speed will now be a concern since its much faster to do it over a storage device that is part of the overall hardware rather than relying on a Ethernet cable, but it can definitely be highly productive in a business environment when it comes to upgrading multiple systems.
Since you have such a plethora of .ISO drives can you slip me an .ISO of Windows 7 Home Premium?
Thanks for your tutorial, very informative lesson - will watch more your channels.
This guy is awesome

always useful info Eli. thank you very much.

excellent tutorial!
Super helpful! Thanks for the tutorial Eli!
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Great video you are the best to me "Eli the Computer Guy"
Hmmm, I see your point. Then that's a good question :-), I don't know how this software could possibly achieve that without re-partitioning your drive, which means you loose all your data.
Thank you so much.I can't tell you how much this helped me out. You my friend have earned a subscribe. Again thanks :)

Eli, you rule.
Thks dude it's really works on my PC
Thanks! Highly appreciated!
Thank you, very straight forward.
Excellent easy to understand vid but i do have a question?
What is the difference between WINEmu and DAEMON tools lite?
Most guys that download torrents to get games and software use DAEMON tools lite.
Both of these programs are free but i would like to use the easiest version?
Thank you! You made this super easy!
does windows 8 mount iso images automatically? Because when i downloaded an iso file it automatically mounted it without me install any software.
fantastic tutorial. thank you
Thanks for the help, great vid
Great. Will it do Dos 1.1
thanks! this helped me on windows 10 pro
Thanks Eli.
Thanks you very much, this got my Need For Speed running!
I've used Imgburn for close to 20 years. It's free and easy.
SIR THANK YOU VERY MUCH.. NICE JOB..
Thank You
This works perfectly!!
hello I did enjoy your video, the problem is the nero software keeps copying an .iso without interpeting the image installed a new dvd and nero 2014 it still not works now all freebsd is all the drives is FreeBSD 10 if new video on how to use the and install FreeBSD
Thanks for this :D helped a lot
The problem with that is that laptops are different from desktops, you can't custom build a laptop because of the way laptops are built.
I downloaded the TOOL... I have one computer, and it works GREAT! I have several mounted GAMES. I tried doing this on my GF's Laptop, and it will NOT work... help?
Why do you need to mount the .iso file? Can you not just double click on the .iso file itself and have it run as if the physical CD was in the computer?
+Elite An .iso file is just the image of the cd/dvd. Mounting software creates the driver you use to actually interact with the file.
Windows 8 can be installed/upgraded to from a USB drive/stick.
great video!!!
So how does this help me actually get data from a CD to a virtual disc? I've got a CD in my external drive F- I click on it and it shows me all the folders on the disc, but no way can I get the entire disc put onto a virtual disc as ISO (or anything else). Any ideas?
Thanks boss...you r the man !!
You are the best thank you so much.
Eli,
Things get a bit confusing here. First you say the computer has no cd drive and then you say you can install the image on the computer. You did not say how?. You skipped a few steps.
+Joe Darvish You can download .iso files off the internet. Or if you have another computer WITH an optical drive, you can put in the CD and then copy the .iso file onto a USB.
guys, you can mount ISO files without a program. its a native feature in windows. you do not need a 3rd party program.
wait you for real??
kaneki san yep.
great video
Yes it can, but this video is about using MISO software, not USB drive/stick.
Life saver! Thanks so much!
i thought this was gonna be a short step by step intricate simple explanation :(
been through number of videos ..no luck yet
this dude knows his stuff. I wish he was a little less wordy though
Burn the iso to a cd or usb and reboot your computer from one of those two drives to do the install.
hey i know this may be a stupid question but can you please tell me how do i put windows 7 on to a win 10 laptop ??
Can u do a vid on how to build a laptop!!??
hey eli mine says it blocked why? i tried other iso softwares and they cant open them either and i tried many iso's but still nothing, i just installed windows 8.1 on a separate hard drive, on my other hd i have windows 7 ultimate 64bit it works fine but this one nothing can ya help?
nm i figured it out ;)
Johnny onthespot you have to crack it
I have to admit while in pro at most computer tech I had no clue on how to do this and I have over 3 years of experience lol a bit embarrassing thanks a lot
can u use this to boot from an iso image to run another operating system?
Cut the small talk eli ive got things to do.
Wow, background in teaching by any chance?
What if it shows no place enough, game is around 20gb , I got free space more then 100gb! Should I need a special tool? Thanks man:)
work for me !!! thanks ;)
when i mount the iso the folder doesnt open up
I lost CD one of my mac OS. So I havent been able to start fresh for a while. now I think i could potentially download it so I can reformat. Same with my ableton disc. I have the program installed, and the library disc, but no way to reinstall. =)
