Hi all

If you don't know if  file.iso is isohybrid:

fdisk -lu File.iso
Disk /home/File.iso: 2 MB, 2097152 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 2 cylinders, total 4096 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/home/File.iso1 * 64 4095 2032 17 Hidd HPFS/NTFS

or

sfdisk -d  File.iso
# partition table of File.iso
unit: sectors
File.iso1 : start= 64, size= 4032, Id=17, bootable
