I have an iso file and when i make info on it, its 3gb but when i mount it the files that are seen are less then 4mb. Where did are the rest GB?
 
iso's are container files. that means when it was made, they specified that it was to be 3gig big. but they only put 4mb in it before closing it, and they don't shrink to fit the files added. so it will always be 3gig big. iso's are like having cd/dvds on your hard drive. a dvd holds 4gig, but if you only put 10mb stuff on it, and close it, thats all you get, but the disk still has 4gig of storage capibilities.
 
This cant be cause when mounting the iso and executing an executionable file it provides videos of aproximatelly 3GB. Maybe there is a way to unpack the iso in some other way other than mounting it?
