DESCRIPTION


The Mount-DiskImage cmdlet mounts a previously created disk image (virtual hard disk or ISO), making it appear as a normal disk. This cmdlet requires the full path of the
VHD or ISO file. If the file is already mounted, then the cmdlet will display the following error.

-- "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."


To mount a VHD file, administrator privileges is required. Administrator privileges are not needed to mount an ISO file on Windows® 8. On Windows Server® 2012, only an
administrator is allowed to mount or eject an ISO file.


To create and mount a VHD on a computer running Hyper-V, use the New-VHD and Mount-VHD cmdlets in the Hyper-V module (which is included in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012
but not enabled by default). Alternatively, open Disk Management and then choose Create VHD from the Action menu.
