can micro sd reads iso files??

i dunno where to post this but i think this is the best category

so i have a .iso files on the comp and i dun want to use any virtual drive at all( for example deamon tool, acholol 120)


instead of burning the files on to a cd,
whould the computer recongized the micro sd as a cd drive and read the iso asumming tat i extracted the files into the micro sd???

if not is there a program tat does this?

 

Theoretically its should be possible depending on how you want the iso to be run. I don't think you could get it to run as a bootup disk so I suppose the question is why do you not want to use a virtual drive and what are you what iso are you wanting to run?

 

this sounds to me like a torrent'ed game (which downloads on ISO files normally).
Technically speaking, torrents are illegal, and it should go against the Forum Rules.

 

Yes, nivekk1400, please clarify the situation.

 

Why is that automatically the case? My first though was that he needs to boot from an ISO in a computer with no optical drive.

 

I would have thought that, except for:

As far as I know, Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120% do not have any functions while the system is still booting up.

 

I just don't get the idea how torrent is illegal. You can use it for a lot of legal stuff. Just because you downloaded an illegal copy of a software through torrent, doesn't mean others are thinking like you too.

 

if you just want to see the files in the ISO, you can extract them with 7-zip.

Also I did see a thread about how to burn ISOs onto a usb stick to boot off of.
So that you can easily update your linux distros.

The method should be simmilar.
I can try to find the thread again, let me know if you want a link.

 

I agree with namaiki. Clarify the situation please. And I think Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120% dont function until fully booted up...but I could be mistaken, I dont use them, nor understand them (my brains cell cant understand them...lol)

So, seriously, torrent, on regular basis is used to download illegal copies of games and software, such as AVs, apps, games, music, movies, all for free. All of these inflict laws (federal I think) on author rights. Therefore, they are illegal.

I think that if you get caught there is a quite large fine to pay. Be careful. My suggestion is not to.

 

Exactly... which is why he can't use drive emulation software.

 

nivekk1400 has not written that she/he cannot use drive emulation software, but that she/he does not want to use drive emulation software. That is what I do not understand.

 

Good point. I won't argue that the post is shady, but there's no need to jump to conclusions. It's not against forum rules until he actually says something that is.

 

But he has not clarified why?
So, it is best to assume the worst to avoid legal problems.
A forum suggesting members how to install ISO files on SD Cards might cause problems for us members, and for the Admins.

 

Why don't you PM a mod and check that then before making an accusation? I'll re-iterate. There are legitimate reasons to want to extract an ISO to an SD card, and as far as I am concerned (and I believe the mods, the government, law enforcement, etc are as well) you're innocent until proven guilty.
If he was asking how to crack a game then I'd be 100% behind you. But he has not asked about anything illegal.

 

Perhaps.
But I rather not say anything on the topic until the OP says what he wants to do with it.

 

In the name of knowledge as I believe knowledge is power and I just hope its used for good I'll say that this is not possible.

Its not just the media that becomes an iso container its how the hardware reads it. a flash drive is not read the same way as a CD/DVD and thus can not just run an iso on the hardware level.

There are programs that allow emulation of it though, basically a boot disk method. I have also fooled with my cd emulation program my usb flash drive came with but it wont work on images past CD size so I couldnt use it for a DVD iso.

(if your curious as to why it was for installing Vista on my EEE 1000H because it does not have an optical drive, I ended up buying an external one on ebay)

I was really close to a way to get it working, but never quite got there.

If your doing this because you need to do something @ boot like others are guessing, its a lost cause from the start unless your bios lets you boot from your SD card slot.

 

Tsk tsk tsk, Serg. There is nothing illegal about torrents. Guess how the latest BF2 1.5 patch was released? Torrent (custom client, but it still used the protocal). It's kind of like having a gun, (well, depending where you are) there's nothing illegal about the gun, and you can use it as much as you like and it not be illegal, BUT it is possible to do illegal things with it (and that's how most people look it).

Anyway, I got off topic, sorry . I'm fairly certain you can do what he is talking about with a USB drive, couldn't he just apply the same concept?

 

who says it was even a torrent? iso does not equal torrent..I make iso backups of all of my recovery DVDs, and all of my legitimately purchased OSes/Software in case the disc gets damaged.

 

I guess he's just being a jack.

 

Me? That is a personal attack. Careful.

 

Lads, chill out. Spookyu brought the issue up in this thread, see for clarification and ask your questions there.

Lets get back on topic here, thank you.

I'm sorry. I agree. That was a bit harsh. It shouldn't happen again.
