    Error while mounting ISO


    I've tried a variety of methods to mount various ISO's (which are fine, I can open them in 7ZIP) and no dice.


    The powershell method gives me an error message...


    mount-diskimage -imagepath "X:\new build\DAW\NI Installers\cuba.iso"

    mount-diskimage : The semaphore timeout period has expired.

    At line:1 char:1

    + mount-diskimage -imagepath "X:\new build\DAW\NI Installers\cuba.iso"

    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (MSFT_DiskImage ...torageType = 1):ROOT/Microsoft/.../MSFT_DiskImage) [Mou

    nt-DiskImage], CimException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80070079,Mount-DiskImage


    This is a brand new Windows 10 install (1909 build 18363.535), everything is up to date. Antivirus is disabled.

    The only thing unusual here is that it is dual boot.


    Can anybody help please.

    Error when mounting ISO files

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand when you are trying to delete/rename/move the ISO files after mounting it you get an error message. It could be possible that the ISO file is mounted and that is the reason you are unable to modify it.



    I suggest you to eject the ISO file and then try to modify it. Please follow the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + E, to open
      File Explorer
      .
    2. Click on This PC on the left pane, you will find the mounted ISO file.
    3. Right click on the ISO file and click on Eject. Try modifying the ISO file now.


    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,

    Error mounting .ISO files in Windows 10

    Hi,

    There are several reasons why you are having issues mounting ISO files on your Windows 10 Home computer. To assist you better, kindly answer the questions below:

    • What other troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    • Have you tried mounting the ISO files on another computer?
    • Have you tried copying the ISO file to your desktop and mount it from there?
    • Do you have a CD/DVD drive installed on your computer?

    Regards.

  4. Error while mounting ISO

    Error when mounting Image with Gmount-iso

    Whenever i try to mount an iso image (636.6MB) in ubuntu 9.10 with Gmount-iso, I get this error:

    An error occured
    unexpected character `{', expected identifier

    After this errror occures the image still mounts and i can see all the files, but i think it may have something to do with another problem i'm having with wine. I can't get any applications to work, even ones i have before.
