Problem with disk image

[Mehrdad87]

Since I don't have optical drive I made image of my disc it by borrowing external dvd drive.

Now whenever I want to mount this disc image it says please insert the disc!
This doeskin make sense because virtual optical drive and disc image are doing the work of physical drive and disc

I tried to convert mdx to ISO and used some other programs apart from daemon tools but my problem is not resolved
I searched the net and did not find any solution

Solution to this problem is very vital to me

I am not sure I understand the problem:
You borrowed an external dvd and made an image of your disc? Is it linux you are using?

[Mehrdad87]

Yes I made disc image
I am using windows and Linux both ( two os on one system)
I am facing same issue on both

Is the disc image an ISO image? If it is then you can burn it to a CD or DVD.

[Mehrdad87]

With daemon pro I convert dmx to Iso
why should I burn it to optical disc?
I do not have optical driver
i can only use images

ok so use qemu

[Mehrdad87]

That also not working for me

[z0My6Up4]

ok what command are you typing to mount it in qemu?

[Mehrdad87]

i downloaded gemu it did not work so i deleted it
I dont have free space
if something doesnt work i replace it,but till now I did not get any replacement

[z0My6Up4]

I'm sorry I don't know what to suggest then.

[Mehrdad87]

that is ok

I noticed you typed gemu. I recommend you use qemu. See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Images. qemu will allow you to boot an ISO image if thats what you have. You could try something like:

qemu -m 256 -hda winxp.img -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d

(I pulled that command from the website link I posted).

I suspect there's a miscommunication here.
1. What is the image of? That is, what does it contain?
2. What are you trying to do with it? Just mounting it? Booting it? Booting it in a VM?
3. What did you try to do when you saw the error message "please insert the disc"?
