  1. Mount all ISO files by double clicking on them, or right clicking on the file and choosing ‘Mount’. This should give them a drive letter as if they were a DVD. In the below example, Disk 1 has drive letter “G” assigned, Disk 2 has “F” and Disk 3 has “I”. These letters will be what you use in Step 15, when it asks to insert a disk.
  2. Open Disk 1, and it should show a list of folders and files.
