(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); 1. Make the ISO directory using the following Command:
    sudo mkdir /mnt/iso

2.Place ISO in Directory made above in your root File
3. Now mount the ISO in the mount point with the following command:
    sudo mount myiso.iso /mnt/iso/ -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0

Where myiso.iso is your ISO file.

What I haven't tried yet is omitting the ro (read only) option, so that it might be possible to make changes to the ISO before finally burning, not sure if this works (will check) but the command would probably look like this:
    sudo mount myiso.iso /mnt/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop=/dev/loop0

Works perfectly but sudo shouldn't be in capitals or start with a capital as it goes to the file /usr/bin/sudo, if you type it as Sudo or SUDO it won't work as it won't find it in your path due to it not existing normally.

What I just did was, made a bootable USB with XP on it from my laptop. I formatted the entire drive in the setup, and it is installing right now. After XP is on it, I plan on downloading windows 7, mounting it to a virtual drive, and installing that over XP. THEN I plan on dual booting with wubi.
