Mounting Windows 7 iso to use for Bootcamp

I'm trying to find a program that will simulate mounting an iso image as virtual CD, DAEMON Tools does but my trial expired, I can't do it at all, Toast won't do it either, so I don't know how to bootcamp... Can anyone help?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)

You can't install Windows in Boot Camp by mounting a ISO file. With this, the only thing you will get will be a black screen in the next startup telling you that there are no bootable volumes and you won't be able to do anything.


What you have to do is to burn the ISO into a DVD by using Disk Utility. Also, OS X can mount ISOs without a third-party application. Simply open the ISO file, and it will appear mounted in the desktop.


Then, insert a blank DVD, open Disk Utility, right-click the Windows ISO in the sidebar and burn it. Finally, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the steps. Read Apple's steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

It won't do that, it'll still say this:

OSX doesnt really mount it , its more like lets you browse the files inside, DAEMON tools SIMULATED a CD drive, so it made an iso work like if there was an actual CD in the superdrive and bootcamp was able to find it and use it, but not with OSX "Mounting", I've burned many iso into CDs before and none of them work, because they don't burn the right way for it to work like a CD on OSX, and then it always shows what it says above, I need another program that can actually mount isos in a virtual drive so it works.
