I am unable to mount the Finnix 100 iso in VirtualBox 3.2.10 r66523. I have verified the md5 against that given on the website as

Code: Select all

f100ffa1d470b7d119979c58f18bb6b1  finnix-100.iso
The error displayed is:

The error VD: error VERR_VD_RAW_INVALID_HEADER opening image file 'C:\finnix-100.iso' (VERR_VD_RAW_INVALID_HEADER) says that the ISO does not conform to standard ISO format and the header is incorrect. If you have burned this to CD/DVD try installing from the ISO file instead. If you have not burned this to CD/DVD you should try that and see if it repairs the format.
