best program to mount iso file
« on: September 18, 2008, 06:08:40 PM »
I want to boot OS3.5 on one of my partitions on my CF card acting as my main DH0 in my 1200...I dont have a cd rom at present to use with my Miggy so I heard theres a way to mount the iso on the CF from my pc and install the OS onto my real Amiga..anyone tried this and can recommend a (hopefully free) program to do this on the pc :-?

I think klx300r is trying this:

1) mount the ISO of 3.5 on their pc
2) extract the files from the ISO onto a CF card
3) Take the CF card to the miggy
4) Install 3.5 onto the CF card and boot from it

I could be wrong but that's what it looks like to me

I think you're better off doing steps 1, 2 & 3 but copy the files to a HD partition and install to the CF card from there (as moto said in his post)



BINGO ;-)  ya thats what i want to do..actually I also have a CF card I use to transfer stuff to my 1200 via pcmcia port..wonder if i cant use that too :-?

@ZeeBeeDee
I have the original CD so you are saying that its possible for me to copy the entire contents of the cd to my CF card ..plug that card into my pcmcia port and install it directly from there ..what happens when the computer reboots during installtion..will an assign command do the job :-?

BTW, you guys are awesome...i wasnt expecting so many quick responses :cheers:
