Note

Wubi?

Wubi is my favorite way to install (and use) Ubuntu on a Windows® machine. Please refer to these pages for more information:

Avis

These explanations require that you have sudo right on your machine.

  1. Create a directory to serve as the mount location:

    sudo mkdir /media/mydisk
    
  2. Mount the ISO in the target directory (of your choice):

    sudo mount -o loop /host/ubuntu/mydisks/root.disk /media/mydisk
    
  3. Unmount the ISO:

    sudo umount /media/mydisk
    

Note

The main reference seems to be this page on askubuntu.com.

If this fails, you can try to:

  1. Install FuriusIsoMount on your Ubuntu,
  2. Read that question on AskUbuntu.com (askubuntu.com/q/164227) for more details.
