Mount CloneCD Image
 

Anyone know how to mount a clonecd image with out having to burn it to disk?

I have seen a tool for M$ called daemon-tools and i thought that was pretty cool.

mount -t iso9660 /xx.iso /mnt/iso -o loop

works for the ISO files but clonecd uses ccd and img and i cant mount them.

Any ideas?

I have :
Mandrake Linux 9.1 kernel 2.4.21-0.13
P4 2.4
1.5GIG
Plenty of HDD

I don't think you can with Clone CD. I don't believe that the mount command can recognize a ccd file. It works for ISO because that is a recognized format, just like vfat and ext3. If mount can't recognized Clone CD's format then it can't mount the file.

slight

if you have a Windows Box laying around, you could covert ccd to iso with winiso:

www.winiso.com

surely there's a Linux equivalent, but I dunno which... Google for it:)

You can also try cdfs at http://freshmeat.net/projects/cdfs/?topic_id=118%2C142

cdfs is a module that allows you to mount a CD, alternative to iso9660. It works for audio CDs. I don't know if it works for clonecd. There are links on the cdfs homepage for other cd filesystem modules that you might try.

you can download isodump
and convert the clonecd img file into a iso9660 file, which you then can mount.

Well, from what I saw here the CCD file format has never been successfully mounted/burnt on Linux... yet.

apparently you just missed my post...
download isodump and you can convert your img file ..and it will then be in the iso9660 format and you can mount it or burn it.

drozz: clonecd makes a .ccd file, not an .img file. Will isodump still be able to convert that? I ask because I also have this problem sometimes.

well i am not sure what kinda clonecd your using cause to my knowledge and experience clonecd has always made 4 files with the following extensions:
*.ccd
*.img
*.cue
*.sub

I stand corrected, the .img is the actual file while the .ccd is clonecd version of the cuesheet.

No need to get upitty tho... :)

In principle, yes.
However, CloneCD produces more information than needed for an ISO9660 image.
Thus, mounting will always work but copying a copy-protected CDROM may not.
Btw. the current version is 0.5.2, you may get it here:

I came across a project called Mount ISO Image on Freshmeat.

From the Freshmeat description:

Mount ISO Image is an advanced script which allows you to perform multiple operations with ISO, NRG, UDF, CUE/BIN, and CCD images. It can mount and unmount ISO images, create ISO and UDF images from folders and CDROMs, calculate the MD5 sum for an ISO, and convert CUE/BIN and CloneCD images to ISO.

By reading the fine print for that project, I found that it uses this
ccd2iso to convert ccd to an iso.

It looks nice, thanks for reporting it!

Hi

I downloaded and installed "mount iso image". I'm getting this error:

ERROR: Could not mount "/home/josh///usr/Mount-ISO (motherboarddrivers.iso)"! Check your system settings.

What system settings do i need to change?
I've also done the following command : CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y

Thanks
