You don't need Daemon tools. Mount the ISO directly in the VM. Sorry, but I'm not heading off to read War and Peace (or watch a Youtube video) to find out what your problem is. If you want help then provide a precise but concise description of error messages etc. You also have the ability to directly attach pictures here - no need for external links.
