The file extension *.iso (hence inspiring the popular term ISO files/images/image files) refers to the ISO9660 filesystem that is used on CDs, DVDs, and most optical media. You can burn a physical CD/DVD with it provided you have CD/DVD burning software that can read ISO9660 images, and a CD or DVD writer drive. Otherwise, you can use it in place of a physical copy for some software that "requires" a CD/DVD to work.

What do you mean by mount the torrent?

Torrent files can contain all sorts of media (music, videos etc.). At times (mostly for games), torrents contain .iso files, these are generally ripped directly from a Dvd or Cd and are uploaded by someone. To open .iso files, you need a software that will let you create a virtual drive so that you can run the setup or open the files within that .iso file.Two popular softwares that you can use for this are 'Daemon Tools' and 'MagicIso'.Once you download and install them, you simply need to 'mount' that .iso file into the virtual drive (magiciso/daemon tools create a virtual drive for you) and you can then run the setup or open the files.


Is DVD-RAM an example of RAM?

Generally, no. In general use, RAM is used to refer to your computer's RAM that loses its contents when it is powered off. A DVD-RAM retains its contents even when powered off, so it would not be RAM. Moreover, the DVD-RAM drive is just like another DVD drive that is connected to your CPU through the IDE controller, while RAM is connected to the CPU through the internal data buses.

You downloaded catz 5 and it has all the files you mounted the iso image but it still says you need the disk what are you doing wrong?

You need to burn the download to a DVD because the file is wanting to be read from the disc drive. The iso file won't let you do an install without making a DVD. (See MSDN's ask a question section answer by "Benji"): " There is two ways to install the .ISO file system 1. To burn the .ISO file to any CD/DVD using the CD/DVD burning software like Nero, Roxio etc. then run the CD/DVD to install. or 2. Use a Virtual CD/DVD Drive Software which can be useful to use the .ISO file without burning to the CD/DVD ROM. These are gives a extra Virtual CD/DVD option in which we can place the .ISO file and use as the normal CD we use. Some of the Virtual CD Software like 1. Virtrual CD 2. ISO Buster etc."
