mounting iso images as readonly in windows shell

Question

I am having trouble mounting iso images from a thumb drive.

What is the command keyword for mounting iso images, and if there is one, does it have a read-only option?

Regards,

Hi John,

Sorry for not clearly understanding your issue.

Do you mean you have a ISO image located in USB flash disk, and want to make some modification in that ISO image. So that you need to mount ISO image before modification, right?

If yes, we could use the following command line to mount it, it has readonly parameter to use.

DISM /Mount-image /imagefile:<path_to_Image_file> {/Index:<image_index> | /Name:<image_name>} /MountDir:<target_mount_directory> [/readonly] /[optimize]}

For more information, please refer to: Modify a Windows image using DISM
