Under Linux I can create an ISO image with UDF filesystem, using K3b for instance.Then I can copy such ISO image to the hard disk, using dd command for instance.Connecting such preapared hard disk to a Linux box, the UDF filesystem is immediately identified, and can be mounted exclusively just as read only volume.
Such prepared hard disk is not recognised by MS-Windows, even it can do a virtual mount of an ISO file, but the UDF volume in the HD does not recognise at all. I tried to help a little creating a fake MBR with one partition:
udf_vol: start= 0, size= 214015464, type=96
but without any success. (the first 64 sectors are ignored in ISO-9660)
I know, that the main difference is that in linux (unix in general) everything is file, hence the mount command is able to mount the real CD device nearly in the same way as an ISO image file.
But is there any third party „mounter“ which can be able to do the same in MS-Windows? Or is it possible in PowerShell?
Just to clear the goal: I do not want to mount virtual CD from an ISO image file, but to mount the hard drive volume formatted as ISO-9660/UDF (ISO image copied onto a hard disk).
