Unsupported .iso file?

Hello,

I have an .iso image, but as soon as I try to mount it with DAEMON Tools or attempt to burn it with PowerISO, I get in the first case "Cannot mount the image. The file contains no data." and in the second case "The file format is invalid or not supported."

What should I do?

Configuration: Windows Vista / Firefox 7.0.1

    Nero BackItUp, DVD Decrypter, ...

    But finally, what interests me is not burning the .iso, but being able to open it on my computer.

    Hello again,

    I understand...
    Try to extract the files with "WinRAR".
    In principle, it works well.

    Best regards

      Hello,
      In general, an ISO file does not extract ^^
      It is burned or mounted on a virtual drive.

      re-

      my bad, I explained myself poorly.
      You have to open the program "winrar"
      go to "file" - "open archive" - browse to the desired iso folder, and validate.

      It works, I just tested it.

    Hello,

    Do you have another burning program? Nero for example?

    Thank you

    Hello,
    If the ISO file doesn't open, it's probably because it was downloaded incorrectly.
    What size is it?
    Which download software was used?

    So, an ISO we can open it like an archive, with WinRAR or 7-Zip for example.
    Then your ISO might be "corrupted" or it might not be an ISO. ^^

    RE,
    An ISO file is a disk image, a perfect copy.
    You can extract the contents with WinRAR or something similar ^^
    But generally it's not a good idea, because the image contains boot information, security data, or other things that are not preserved when extracting.
    That’s why I wrote: Generally, an ISO file should not be extracted ^^

    By the way, what exactly is this ISO of? ;-)
