Can't mount ISO image in Windows 8 inside VMWare Fusion

Solution 1:

Copy ISO to your virtual NTFS harddrive (C:) and mount it.

Solution 2:

There is one of two things going wrong here:

  • Your Project 2013 ISO is sitting on an external storage medium that is not formatted with the NTFS file system.

  • You are trying to mount a ISO file as a HDD instead of a CD-Rom.

Solution 3:

Connect the ISO image as a CD-ROM, not as a hard drive.
