Mounting the ISO-9660 part of a hybrid CD on Mac OSX?

Postby MiniMax » Mon Mar 17, 2008 11:34 pm

Anyone who knows of a simple way to mount a hybrid (HFS and ISO-9660) CD-ROM on Mac OSX so only the ISO-9660 part becomes available?

From my on-line search, I have come up with 3 different ways, but I have no way of testing them:

  1. From a shell-prompt drutil status to obtain the device name of the DVD-drive (/dev/diskXsY), and then do a manual mount (as root?):

    # mkdir /tmp/my_old_cd
    # mount_iso9660 /dev/disk1s1 /tmp/my_old_cd
    # ls /tmp/my_old_cd
  2. Click the DVD-icon while holding down the Control-key, and then select the "Mount as ISO9660" option.

    Could it be that simple?
  3. Holding down the Command-Option-I key while inserting the CD again. And keep holding it down until the mounting process has completed.

But - I don't have a Mac, and don't know anyone who has, so I can not test any of these methods.

Anyone?
