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.

Can't mount an iso file

One of the possibilities listed in the alert was 'no drive letters assigned'. Open Disk Management as suggested in the alert. If that's all it is then it's an easy fix to assign letters to the partitions.
