  You fail to explain that this command only works for root.

  it also works without "-t iso9660" (mount -o loop file.iso /mnt/test)... When I tried, your command doesn't work at all...

  you need to create the mount point first, i.e. "mkdir /mnt/test"

  lawrence@Inf1n1ty:~$ su
  Password:
  su: Authentication failure
  lawrence@Inf1n1ty:~$ sudo -i
  root@Inf1n1ty:~# mkdir -p /mnt/disk
  root@Inf1n1ty:~# mount -o loop BF1942_1.iso /mnt/disk
  BF1942_1.iso: No such file or directory
  root@Inf1n1ty:~#
  
  so when i log into root, cannot as it is locked, so use sudo to gain root privileges, Then when I go to mount the image it doesn't find it.
  Is there a certain location that I need to place the iso in question?

  what is the path to BF1942_1.iso relative to your current directory?
  
  Should something like
  
  mkdir -p /mnt/disk
  mount -o loop /dev/USB/BF1942_1.iso /mnt/disk
  ... Make any sense?
