Trouble mounting .iso


I'm trying to mount hg2.iso, the Heavy Gear 2 iso image that I converted from hg2.nrg using nrg2iso, and this is what I keep getting:
Code:
bash-3.1# mount -o loop -t iso9660 hg2.iso /mnt/iso
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
       missing  codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       demsg | tail or so
Any ideas?

Have you used nrg2iso successfully in the past? My first inclination would be that the program simply didn't create a valid ISO, since your command should work otherwise.

In all honesty, I just installed it and tried it, since the nrg was just too big to fit on the blank cds I had on hand. So no, this is my first time using it.

You probably have to state full path to *.iso file: like - /home/.../hg2.iso
And /mnt/iso - should be exist.

Same result as last time. and /mnt/iso already does exist, I made it before I tried the first time.

~ not always works, can try with normal full path, or is it difficult?

Actually, read log file after you get error message: dmesg | tail -n 20

Just did that, and the only output relevant to this thread was:
Code:
ISOFS: Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
And really, I think I got that message already :P
