ISO image to hard drive

[ShowMe]

Is there a program out there that can "burn" an ISO image to a hard drive without the need for a CD?

I've tried searching for one but maybe my search terms are off. Ideally I would like it to work with any storage device, such as a thumb drive or external disk.

Yes. If you use Nero, or Nero Express that comes with most CD/DVD burners, it is as simple as choosing the "Image Recorder" as your "recorder".

I think Winimage (http://www.winimage.com/winimage.htm) does this.

I don't get what you mean. Do you want to copy the iso file to our HD then use it like it was all the files copied over.

Of course in *nix this is done with mount. Type man mount for details. ;)

I found this (http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-mount.htm) that might work for Windows.

Assuming you HAVE an ISO and you want to use it like a "virtual" cd rom drive:

Linux:

mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /path/to/mountpoint

Windows:

I've used a program called "Daemon tools" to mount ISO files in Windows. I've never had a problem.






Assuming you have a DISC and you want to MAKE an ISO:

Linux:

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/my/output/file.iso bs=512K

Windows:

Nero or any common burning tool will have an option to rip an ISO.

I haven't used this, so I can't tell you if it's any good.

Alcohol 120% enables you to make a duplicate back-up to recordable media of nearly all your expensive Game\Software\DVD* Titles, and/or an image that can be mounted and run from any one of Alcohol's Virtual drives.Alcohol Software (http://shop.alcohol-soft.com/en/alcohol_info.php)

I use Daemon Tools most of the time, Sometimes Power ISO.

I use Daemon Tools most of the time, Sometimes Power ISO. I second Daemon Tools. It's simple, straightforward, uncluttered, and uses a very low memory footprint.

It creates a virtual drive to which you can mount an ISO file (it supports all the major formats) and access the files within that ISO as though the virtual drive were a CD drive.

I work with Windows programs usually. Very few clients haveany type *nix.

But this program is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
