    I'm looking for a optical media emulation tool like daemon tools for win.
    Daemon tools does not work in Parallels (win xp), anybody got any suggestions on other similar tools ?

    Just put the .iso on the mac side and load it like a virtual cd in the Guest. ;)

    OKI, That easy.... ;)
    I'm new to Mac and Parallels, so How do I "load it like a virtual CD..." ?

    What if the file is a bin/cue ?

    Click on the cd icon in the parallels window while the guest is running and choose load image from file or something similar.

    It won't work with bin/cue, you can:

    * Convert that to .iso.
    * Use tugzip, it's a free and powerful archiving utility that not only zips and unzips files, browses inside those files and supports many formats, including popular disk images like BIN, C2D, IMG, ISO and NRG. This will allow you to get the files from the .bin file but it won't allow you to mount it like a disk.
    * Now, if you want something that can mount bin/cue then I can't help you, I've never had the need before so I don't know.

    OK, thanx :)
    It works perfectly...!
    tugzip works to for bin/cue, with tugzip you can unpack the files and run it.
