Honestly, I prefer MagicDisc. It's tiny and fast. I used to use Daemon Tools, but once it started getting packaged with a bunch of adware I dropped them.
Install a program like MagicDisc. After that, you can mount the image, and your computer will read it just as it would a retail or burned disc.
It's free, and I've been using it for years flawlessly.
When you say you have an OEM copy of windows 7 does that mean you have the OEM CD or just a key?
If you have the OEM CD do this below:
Make an iso of your CD http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-create-iso-image-file.htm
Use this to make a bootable usb windows 7 installation drive with ISO above http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool
it was blank already when you formatted ? if so, why don't you throw it away if you have a whole spindle of them ? not such a big loss compared to when blanks were 10-15$ each (looooong time ago hehe)
Thing is, ReWritable dvds do not work like hard drives.
What is happening now, is known as multi-session. (more info here and here ).
you might be able to save it by using a proper dvd writing tool instead of the windows ones. (Nero, or the one that came with your dvd writer)
Good luck !
For this one purpose I condoned torrenting, I downloaded the PC version, used another program that lets you convert your Xbox save to a PC save then console code fix all my major bugs, save it back as an Xbox game and I was back in business EDIT: adding program links
Skyrim PC http://kat.ph/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-razor1911-t5970340.html mount and install with magic ISO http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm Then follow this subred http://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/mfgrp/psa_you_can_transfer_skyrim_savegame_files_from/
Please, people, stop using DaemonTools and use MagicISO instead. The crappy ads it's filled with and the headaches it can produce (XP FUBAR'd on SP2->SP3 upgrade) are not worth it.
Upvote for pushing an alternative to Daemontools, which has been a bloated piece of crap in the last 5 years or so...
I myself have been using MagicDisc for quite some time.

Searching for "zoombinis" on archive.org gives a bunch of hits:

As for ISO mounting software? My laptop came with one installed by default, but it shouldn't be hard to find free software online. I'd recommend MagicISO
Take songs you want, build an Audio CD out of them, switch to a bin+cue image of that in RetroArch when the game has you swap discs using the Quick Menu's disc controls.
--
Simplest dumbed-down way would be to use MagicISO to directly build an Audio CD image from your songs. Note that when unregistered, MagicISO will only let you export a bin+cue that's under 350MB.
How did you convert the file? Have you tried any other software for mounting? IIRC, you can get a piece of software called MagicISO or MagicRom or something. On mobile, will check.
EDIT; MagicDisk http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-history.htm
This should take care of it. "An ISO image is an archive file of an optical disc, a type of disk image composed of the data contents from every written sector on an optical disc, including the optical disc file system. ISO image files usually have a file extension of .iso." so the whole cd is the iso. This will copy it then I highly recommend Rufus to toss it on the thumb drive. Best of luck http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-isomakerwin.htm
Usually good torrents will use a .iso file
You can think of a iso file as a virtual dvd
You can burn this virtual dvd onto a real dvd or mount it on a virtual dvd player (on win 8 just double click the iso, on win 7 i use magicdisc
Once the iso is mounted you should be able to find files similar to setup.exe
The last torrent I used that had a setup.exe instead of a iso file force installed lots of crap (toolbars, search engines etc)
... extracted the files? .....
use a third party image burner like nero or whatever burning software you use .. there should be an option to burn from image... this is that iso you have... leave it as it is... when you open the burn from image option it will ask you for the image you want to burn.. select that win7.iso you have then set it to burn as slow as it will allow you like x4, this is to make sure it burns(writes) smoothly and without errors when it finishes you should have a hard copy win 7 install dvd.. you'll know if it worked by putting it into a computer (or your laptop) and it will auto start the windows7 install/upgrade application.
ill put it in steps for you if you tell me what program you use for burning dvds. (if you don't have one these guys make a free easy to use one its only 2.9mb)
Ah, here is your issue. You need to get into the .iso file and extract those files onto the USB stick.
Download this. http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-extractiso.htm
Extract the files, place them ALL onto your USB stick and try again.
http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-mount-iso-image.htm
The above link is a list of command-line options for MagicISO. You could probably create a custom context-menu item so that when you right-click an ISO file, you can mount it to a virtual drive. See this link for how to add a context menu item for a particular file extension.
Any virtual CD program such as Daemon Tools or what I prefer, Magic Disc, will allow you to mount the ISO and extract its contents to its own folder (copy & paste) so it isn't read-only.
Try downloading & installing this Image Drive from this link.
http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm
You will see the drive in your system tray in the bottom right hand corner. Just click or right click on it and load the NRG file that way.
Sounds like you're using shitty ISO image software. Try a different one like MagicDisc or UltraISO. MagicDisc is free.
http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-history.htm
More free ones:
You need to copy the games to an ISO format. Use Magic Iso
They will run better as reading from an HDD is much faster and stable than streaming off an optical drive.
As for the emulator, go with ePSXe. This is the best one. This site also has guides on it too so look around.
BIOS's, at least for PS2 emulators are not legally obtained, however I'm not sure about PS1 emulators and the legality of it all.
I would advise finding a torrent of them. Here you can find complete packages of emulators, however some of them might be a little out of date so check the version numbers.
I'm unfamiliar with the internal structure of the ISO format and haven't experimented, but my understanding is that it can't go any "deeper" than the audio data; it's the raw PCM data and none of the subcode data, not even the track boundaries. This is my impression from the lack of such distributions in the wild, and info sources like these, found in a quick Google search:
So you have the ISO file.
If you are on windows 10 it should mount on its own if you double click it.
If you are on an earlier version you will need something like magic disk- http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm
Once it has attached like a cd, you should be able to run the setup and install it like a regular cd game.
Theres a patch on the website as well that i assume maybe a no CD patch.
Give it a try but if you get stuck there's tutorials on youtube
Ok guys found out how to do this. It seems my bratans get more retarded as the years go by. Anyway heres a step by step process.
​
- go here and download the iso converter
- Go on the internets and acquire a gog version of apocalypse if you dont have it. I have the original game but it didn't work oO with this openapoc
- In the gog version in the file x-com apocalypse/cd you will find a file named xcom.bin
- use the program above to convert this bin file into iso
- go here and dl OPENAPOC FILE (the 17mb one)
- Put the iso file you created in openapoc /data
​
The game will be windowed.If anyone knows how to fullscreen please post here.
If you're on Windows 10 they should mount automatically when you open the ISOs. If you're still on Win7 I've used MagicDisc in the past.
Took a peek at the downloads for Deluxe & Complete and the latter is on a single disc rather than split in two. Not only would it give more in-game content, it'd also be easier to install.
I believe those are disk image files, so you need a tool to mount/extract them. You could try using something like Daemon Tools Lite or Magic ISO, which I think both support .bin.
But I also happened to notice that the site you linked to seems to have an online extraction tool here which you could try. I have no idea how well it works myself but presumably it should handle files they themselves are hosting.
EDIT: In fact, if you click the "extract" button when you're browsing through the archives instead of "Download", it gives you a ZIP file instead of a BIN. You might just do that.
I was able to update my r610's using windows 2008r2 , SUU-WIN32_17.10.200.209.ISO from Dell & magicdisk http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-history.htm magicdisk lets you mount an ISO file.
How did you make the ISO file?
Try MagicISO, I've had good luck with that in the past: http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-create-iso-image-file.htm
DOSBox should be able to figure the file out, something like IMGMOUNT M C:\Civ2.iso -t iso should be enough.
When in windows I use magic disc (http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm) to make a copy, I can then mount it as a virtual drive as needed (E.g. Copy worms game, when I want to play, mount as virtual disc and viola). For Linux just use the DD command to make a copy and use the mount command to mount the iso to a mount point.
The DVD is an Acer Win7 upgrade disc, so probably hard to find online. All I'm looking for a free ISO maker utility.
EDIT: I found MagicISO, which looks promising.

You can make a Hiren's bootable USB easily enough. http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd-on-usb-disk
You can find the ISO here: http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/
If you don't have a CD drive you may need something like http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm to mount the image as a virtual CD so you can build the USB stick. Best of luck with it.
You can try ripping the CD ROM to an ISO file using Magic ISO. Then you can use Magic ISO to mount the ISO file to a virtual CD Rom drive. http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-isomakerwin.htm
You can also do the same with Daemon tools. http://www.daemon-tools.cc/downloads
If you have access to a system with a optical drive, you can create an iso with programs like MagicISO. Then you can put the ISO on the thumbdrive and transfer it to that laptop. If you have Windows 8.1, it should be able to emulate an ISO to an optical, or if not you will need an optical emulator like Daemon Tools Lite. Then mount and install like you normally would.
It's probably a dvd or cd image. Try magicdisc if you are on windows. Install it, when it's done you will need to restart. In the bottom right of the task bar will be an icon for it, right click and choose mount iso, find your file and select it. Then in your My Computer it should show up as a new drive if it doesn't auto-launch at that point.
Okay, sorry, I think I sent you off to fail.
This is what I wanted to help you find.
You mount the ISO file to the program that fakes as a disc drive and then when you mount what you want the program to read, making the PC think it's a CD and then you can use it to fake ...uh... things.
That help?
I don't think Windows 7 can open ISO's by default. You could use a program like MagicDisc (http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm) to mount it and install.
I had Windows 8.1 and it natively mounts ISO's and I was able to install the Tech Preview fine.
You could download the DriverPack ISO from here: http://drp.su/
Then mount it as a virtual CD Drive using this: http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-history.htm
Once you run DriverPack, it'll autodetect devices that are missing drivers and install the drivers. Just be sure that you have all the application settings unchecked when you run it or it'll install random software that you probably don't want.
OK Windows 8 can just be copied to an ISO onto a flash drive so that's nice. According to pcpartpicker the cheapest is about $100. The only way you could get this cheaper (that I know of) is if you're a student. I've made ISO files in the past with magicdisc. Not exactly the prettiest, but free and works. To boot just find the option to boot from the USB drive you have plugged in in your BIOS. It shouldn't be hard to find.
Make an iso out of the Win7 Disk Image using MagicISO
Then use this from windows. Quick and easy: Windows 7 Bootable Flash Drive Creation
extract the contents of the .rar and use MagicIso or similar to package the unzipped files into a .iso
...that should hopefully work...
and yes, get winrar. it probably won't help, but it's awesome and you'll need it one day.
In some countries breaking the copy protection of DVDs is illegal. But:
http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-makeiso.htm
Basically, this creates an "image" of your DVD to your hard drive and you can use stuff like:
http://www.daemon-tools.cc/eng/home
To play those DVDs. There is a "Lite" version on that site. I haven't tried this personally so this might not work on a commercial dvd with protection.
This used to happen to me when I made a multi session disk or a disk with data and cd audio. If you grab magic iso http://www.MagicISO.com/download.htm you should be able to make an image and then pull the info off. At least that's what I'd do since the other software didn't work. Oh and we should also get any specific drive and media details you have.
Right on, I am terrible at math as well so i can understand. Ok so, heres the process for you. On your windows 7 machine with the cd drive. >+ Insert the office 2003 CD. + Download and install ISO Recorder V3.1 - for Windows Vista/Windows 7 + Open My Computer, Right click on the CD > Create Image from CD/DVD, follow the prompts, save the image to your desktop.
Move that image to your thumb drive / external hard drive. Transfer this over to your netbook. On your netbook > * Install MagicDisc * Run Magicdisk if it is not already running in your tray. * Right click Magicdisk > Set number of drives > 1 * Right click Magicdisk > Virtual CD/DVD-ROM > Letter:No Media > Mount > Browse to your ISO. * Should now be able to go into that like its the CD and run Setup.
Let me know if you get hung up somewhere.
When you say you did a backup, do you mean with the windows 7 backup utility?
As per my response: The ISO can be mounted, and act as a virtual disk.
+http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-history.htm
That is indeed true, daemontools had a great CLI interface. MagicISO says it can do the "same", but I haven't found this "miso.exe".
About 7GB+ isos, I think I mounted large files (even a BR iso) but I'm downloading this to test more. For Science. Will report back
Mounting an ISO is an easy as... well ... mounting an ISO.
I use Virtual CD Rom.
http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm
Stat program.
Click on "Add Drive"
Click on "Mount"
Browse to ISO.
Keep default settings.
Click OK.
Use explorer to view the contents of the ISO.
Use MagicDisk to mount it. It's a freeware ap made by the same company as MagicISO. It's basicly just the virtual drive part of the MagicISO program. No need for any converting. Just mount it and open the dvd from "my computer." If all else fails you can always pirate a copy of nero and burn that NRG file as an image to a dvd.
If you really need to convert that nrg to iso, use nrg2iso.
