    Im thinking about dual booting XP on Vista (already installed) and i need to mount Gparted to make a virtual Vista recovery disk.

    anyways, i know how to mount an ISO file using DAEMON TOOLS but everytime i mount it, it doesnt accually run, it opens up the ISO and i can view the different files inside, which, obviously i dont want.

    The folders I see within the Gparted Disk are:

    -boot
    -syslinux
    -gparted.dat


    Can anyone show me how to make this wowrk? ty

    You can't just mount a GParted disc and use it inside Windows. You need to burn the ISO to a CD and BOOT from that. GParted is a linux distro and is not compatible with Windows in any way.
