How do I read an .iso?
How do I read an .iso?
I've gotten a virtual Win 3.11 running and added an iso file under the ide controller but nothing happens. I can't find the CD in the file manager. Why?

I believe that the reason nothing happens is because Windows 3.1 has no native support for optical disk drives. This is needed whether you're mounting an ISO or passing through the host's physical CD drive. You'll need to download and install the necessary drivers first.

Remember that Windows 3.11 barely merits the title of OS. The actual OS is DOS, and that's where you have to install CD drivers. See the "Other Guests" tutorials area.
