See Tom's post for more details on this technique. If this works then your NRG files can be converted to ISO files, using this method: dd if=imagefile.nrg of=isofile.iso bs=4096 skip=75 Mount -o norock,map=off,loop,offset=307200 imagefile.nrg /media/loop_cd NRG file has 300KB (75x4096) = 307200 bytes pre-pended to the ISO image.Īssuming your file has this same characteristic the method goes on like this: mkdir /media/loop_cd
#HOW TO INSTALL POWERISO ON LINUX ARCHIVE#
On Linux, you can mount an ISO archive if you create a mount point for it. Run 'InstallForMacOSX' to run the installer once the archive or DVD has been mounted. The method makes use of the fact noticed by him: Alternatively, use Disk Utility (located in /Applications/Utilities) to burn the ISO archive to a DVD.
#HOW TO INSTALL POWERISO ON LINUX HOW TO#
The #8 comment in that thread by a user named Tom Hansen gives good details on how to do this method. PowerISO can burn dmg file directly to a CD / DVD disc. With PowerISO, you can manipulate dmg files on Windows PC. This sounded a bit drastic to me but might prove workable for you. The DMG files normally contain program installation files for Apple system and applications, but they can also be used to hold compressed files. The method called for using dd to carve out of the NRG file the actual data portion that is the contents of the ISO file. If none of these options work there was a method discussed in this launchpad thread titled: Howto convert file. FuseNRG makes use of fuseiso, looking at their wiki it's unclear there as well. It's unclear whether FuseNRG can deal with the non iso9660 type of NRG files. It's pretty easy to use since it has literally no command line switches.
It was available in the Ubuntu/Debian repositories. The iat tool has no switches but looks like it can convert various CDROM formats to ISO. If you need to mount/unmount these frequently this tool might also be helpful, cdemu-tray. Also the CDEmu Wikipedia page has a good list of the format's it supports and a good overview on the application. Under Linux you should be able to mount the. Your options become limited at this point. But I'll say it here, this is a proprietary format that the Nero Burning ROM software could write out, these aren't ISO files. Use the command fdisk -l to list disk devices and identify the correct USB device to use. NOTE: See the NRG wikipedia page for more details on this file format. Where /dev/xxxx is the USB device, and yyyy.iso is a Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation image. AcetoneISO cannot deal with these variants.
Then you most likely have an NRG file that isn't in the ISO9660 format.
