I have a bunch of games as .ISOs on my PC which wont open. In Daemon tools or anything else. I know the ISOs aren't broken because they worked on my last setup which was Vista. I recently had to reinstall windows because I had loads of viruses I couldn't get rid of. I'm now using XP and when I click the ISO's in MagicISOMaker an error message says "cant find the file or file isn't a cd image". When I try to mount it in Daemon Tools lite it doesn't recognise it as a disk. This problem hasn't occured with all the ISOs. About half of them work but the other half don't. Is there something peculiar to XP which i stopping them working?

Where did the ISO's come from?

They're from game CDs. I've lost the original CDs though.

It doesn't sound like a XP issue if half the cd's work and half don't. Have you tried the ones that don't work on another XP system to see if they work on it?
This sounds more like a bad read laser on the cd itself then a OS issue.

But the ISOs worked on Windows Vista

I understand that but you said half work and half don't.
My question is why did you down grade your OS?

Try using other mounting tools.

I've tried several already. Daeomon Tools Lite, MagicISO and ISOMaker and ISODisk but I know the files not corrupted cus it's worked before on vista.

Maybe, because your OS had viruses on it, the game .ISO's were corrupted with it and that could be the reason why they are not opening.

I see. Well I'll try some new ISOs and let you know if they work.

[rshaffer61]

As I suggested try them ISo's on another system and see if they work or not. The system has to be running XP to check for sure. If they don't work on there then we have to determine it is the disks themselves. Regardless that they worked before they could be scratched or dirty.
