Not sure what the issue was here, I was able to mount the file just fine on my Windows 10 machine
- scruffyherder 7y agoAre you using daemon tools or something else 3rd party? I couldn't get them to mount on Windows 10, I ended up using MS-DOS to mount them. I've had this issue with a number of early 90's CD-ROM's that apparently violate the spec, including Microsoft Bookshelf https://archive.org/details/MicrosoftBookshelf1991 https://archive.org/details/MicrosoftBookshelf1991
- shawnz 7y agoNo, I just changed the extension to ISO and double clicked, using the native ISO mounting functionality. Can't test with MS bookshelf as there doesn't appear to be an ISO provided EDIT: Nonetheless thank you for preparing these interesting images!
- scruffyherder 7y agoMaybe it's been some update or something, it sure didn't work when I tried this a year ago. I ripped the CD of bookshelf as a MDF https://archive.org/download/MicrosoftBookshelf1991/msbookshelf91_mdf.zip https://archive.org/download/MicrosoftBookshelf1991/msbooksh... Since it wasn't mounting for me either with the physical disc, or the image... I passed the drive under Qemu and MS-DOS read it fine. The whole thing was... Strange in that I can't get these old discs to mount. Although they read fine. strange. It was really fun taking these old CD-ROM's disc images, and actually manipulating the data. I didn't expect to get anything and I was really surprised that it worked.
