Mounting .ISO's Into An NT File System?

haplo21112 asks: "We all know how to mount an ISO image into the Linux file system: mount -t iso9660 -o loop image.iso /mnt/isoimage. Unfortunately the rather large software distribution server I am stuck with here at work is 2000 based, but we would love to replicate this functionality somehow on the NT System. I have done many Google searches to find a way of doing this and come up empty. There seem to many utilities that will mount the .ISO as a 'virtual' CD rom drive, but this doesn't really solve the problem since we are talking about mounting something on the order of 200 .ISO images this way. I am looking to replicate the Linux functionality, create a directory, and mount the ISOs as subdirectories."

Why not copy contents of CDs to directories? by Anonymous Coward · 2001-12-12 10:51 · Score: 1, Insightful

Why do you need to mount ISOs, rather than just copy the contents of the CD to a subdirectory?

That almost seems like a backward way to do it, unless you were anticipating installing these ISOs on a Linux system.
