"Windows cannot access this disc"

Hello

I've mounted an .iso image on my virtual drive using a bunch of different programs and Vista won't allow me to "Explore" the drive. I've tried MagicISO and Daemon tools and I know it's not the programs or the file.

How can I fix this Vista error??

The ISO image works fine. Just successfully mounted and opened the CD on my brother's computer which is running XP.
So Vista strikes again.......
Anyone else having this problem??

Where did you get that ISO file? Did you extract that file(.rar, .zip, etc.)? I had exactly same problem and solved by using WinRAR. I was using 7-Zip to uncompress files before. The file extracted from 7-zip itself worked well in XP but not Vista. As renegade600 said, it's likely caused by bad ISO due to bad extraction.

My ISO was extracted from .rar so I used WinRAR. Try use appropriate program for your compressed ISO file format. If this is how you got your ISO.
