MDF Ubuntu how to mount

June 27, 2009

Yeah, well I found how to mount MDF files, I just did this on a 7gb mdf and it worked, so yeah

Open a terminal: CD to the directory where the mdf is located. How? Well:
Type LS, that will tell you what folders you can move into, then type CD foldername, but type the first 3 or 4 charecters and then press tab, it will autocomplete the folder name for you. Once LS is listing your mdf file, type into a terminal:
mount nameoffile.mdf /media/cdrom0 -t iso9660 -o loop
and it should appear in nautilus.

    I’ve been trying this all day and I keep getting

    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
    missing codepage or helper program, or other error
    In some cases useful info is found in syslog – try
    dmesg | tail or so

      Is it a dvd or a CD image you are trying to mount?
