Cant mount ISO file. gISOmount says "File selected is not an ISO".
The image is done by myself long time ago in windows xp and game itself is windows version.. I made this image in .nrg. Than used nrg2iso and converted to ISO.
Now I don't know what to do with this error message.

I'm trying to mount a .img file with a HFS+ partiton on it. I can't seem to get it working. I don't want to overwrite a whole partition. Just mount the filesystem to /media/directory.
sudo mount -t hfs -o loop /path/file.img /media/directory/ gives me wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
Output: dmesg | tail [665583.878826] hfs: unable to find HFS+ superblock [690232.956830] hfs: can't find a HFS filesystem on dev loop0.
I've got an image file that I made with DDrescue.I installed Sleuth Kit and when I type: mmls /mnt/drive/file .it says "cannot determine partition type".I imaged a different drive and tried to use the same command line and got the same results.I'm not familiar with working with image files too much,.I would like to mount the NTFS partition within the image file.
I installed Ubuntu a few days ago and its been working fine untill I got home today and It wont boot. It comes up with the boot manager to select what OS I want to load but when I select ubuntu it says "Mount of filesystem failed." ,"A maintenance shell will now be started". Then it just goes to command line with "root@user:"Any ideas why It won't boot properly? It also says control-d will terminate this shell and try again, but to no avail it just returns the same error.
When I try to boot into Ubuntu I get this error message:t of filesystems failed.3d82d6-5dcb-494b-b2f0-fe9f157e9430Any ideas on how to fix it? I have a duel boot with XP and Ubuntu 9.10.
at work we have to encrypt all data that goes on an USB-Stick or Notebook with pgpdisk.Having migrated completely to linux at home I look for a way to mount these files to work with the data.
have been using karmic studio for around a month now, and have been recently experiencing some boot issues where 1 of 3 things are happening;1) failed to mount filesystem, where maintenance shell is initiated2) insert boot media and press any key to continue3) i get to log in and everything looks ok until i click the application menu, where nothing appears and all logos (shutdown/log off etc) appear as red crosses
I have a decrypted DMG file and want to mount it on /mnt/ramdisk. I ran file on it and it shows as it should:
Code: # file ramdisk.dmg ramdisk.dmg: Macintosh HFS Extended version 4 data last mounted by: '10.0', created: Tue Nov 16 23:25:47 2010, last modified: Wed Nov 17 01:29:16 2010, last checked: Tue Nov 16 23:25:47 2010, block size: 4096, number of blocks: 4272, free blocks: 429
I tried curlftpfs and can copy files etc., but opening media files in totem or vlc fails with read errors.I'd try to use gvfs-mount instead, but don't know how to pass an option similar to custom_list="LIST" which tells curlftpfs to use LIST instead of LIST -a.

Code: Mount of File System Failed. A maintenance shell will now be started.
I have had this problem since yesterday, I've looked around at previous archives, but I can't seem to find anything that works. When I boot up, the screen gives me the following prompt:
Code: Mount of root filesystem failed. A maintenance shel will now be started. CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and reboot the system. Give root password for maintenance:
I switch on the PC and it loads the Grub splash screen. However, it does not automatically boot the top entry after two seconds as it's supposed to and just hangs. I hit entry to boot it and it attempts to but after a few seconds gives me the error "unable to mount file system....a maintenance shel will be started" Where do I go from here? to figure out whats going on?
I started up my computer and this is what it said: Mount of file system failed.A maintenance shell will now be started.CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and re-try.root@Gifted:~#The only part I recognize is the name of my computer; Gifted
I need to mount an audio only image file. The only program I'm aware of is cdEmu, unfortunately, since my upgrade to 11.04 x86_64, It was removed during the process. Any other programs/commands capable of mounting an image file? And no, I do not want to burn,extract, or convert. Just mount.

I can select Ubuntu 10.10 OS from the grub menu, but it no longer loads? It scrolls through some lines, including mount failure and "No such file or directory." before halting below : (initramfs) The same happens when recovery is selected.
Trying to mount my NTFS file system (portable hard drive) so that is can be recognized by a program I have installed in wine (seagate manager). I've tried to change the mount point for the drive to /home/.wine/c_drive but that doesn't seem to do the trick, and messing around with the fstab file just results in error messages when I try to mount/unmount the drive.
who to change the mount point properly? /dev/sbd1 is my partition.
Either that or does anyone know how to configure wine so that it will find my drive? I've tried adding an e: drive to the drives tab and mapped it to mediaSimons' Seagate (partition label), but that doesn't seem to do the trick either.
Ubuntu(10.04) was working fine, then some program crashed or something, and I just switched off (power offed) the computer. When I restarted it, this sort of stuff comes:
Code:
mount /dev on /root/dev failed : No such file or directory
and some more lines like that, and then 'Busybox' starts with [intramfs].I booted Ubuntu from a pen drive and ran fsck on the main partition. I just pressed 'y' for a long time (it asks stuff like should it continue repairing or something), and then it was done. I restarted the pc and it booted normally - it looked as if everything was fine.I started google chrome, and it said it couldn't find a personal config file .. ok. Then I tried opening a folder - nothing happens. The system monitor doesn't open, and windows that do open eventually are completely blank. I restarted the pc (this time by doing the normal restart), and it gave me the same 'Busybox' thing.I did the same procedure again, and got the same results. (ubuntu boots, programs dont work, then I restart and the Busybox thing comes again)One More Thing : The Ubuntu installed on the hard disk had all the recent updates (including the latest linux kernel) while the pen drive thing was around 2 months old I think. So maybe that's the cause?
I had an installation of Ubuntu under windows via wubi, after an update last week it wouldn't boot up at all, I tried everything I could find about how to fix grub, none of which worked, after looking at a working installation of Ubuntu with wubi I realised that my root.disk file had dissapeared.
I gave up and decided to get rid of windows all together, and now have a fresh 'proper' install of Ubuntu, but that root.disk file has turned up in a file called 'found'.
Is there any way I can mount that file in ubuntu to retrive the documents etc that I thought I had lost?
I am pondering a reinstall of a freshly installed Ubuntu; I may or may not take that drastic step.However, I have partitioned my drive to include a 16-GB partition labelled "Ubuntu-tmp", in my case /dev/sda7, with the intent of mounting that file system as /tmp. Depending on how I decide to go about the reinstall I need an answer to these questions:If I reinstall: Is it possible to designate /dev/sda7 to mount as /tmp during the installation process?If I cannot designate the mounts at install time, or if I opt not to reinstall: I can't really empty the /tmp directory in the root in order to properly use it as a mount point for [the file system on] /dev/sda7; many files in there are still in use by running processes. So how can I clear the /-mounted /tmp directory and assign it to /dev/sda7?
I have attached a screen shot of gparted to illustrate my layout scheme.The gparted manual suggests I select the partition, click [Partition]->[Mount]. Of course, my gparted drops a menu with [Mount] is absent and an [Unmount] option is greyed out.This raises a question of how I am going to mount /users and /var in their intended file systems (/dev/sda8 and /dev/sda9, respectively), because the [partition] menu looks the same for these partitions as well.
