nasm is an assembler - it creates binary code from assembly language files. It's not a virtual machine app that you run operating systems in.

Hello,
iso file directly to your desktop.
Locate your ISO file on your computer.
Right-click on the ISO file and select Open with > Choose another app.
When the window appears select the checkbox by “Always use this app to open /iso files. Then select Windows Explorer from the list.
Your ISO file is now mounted to your desktop.

Since this is a forum for assembly programming, here's my answer:

Code: [Select]

; works on SysV x86-64 ABI systems
; Entry: RDI = ptr to pathname.
runFile:
  push rbx
  mov rbx,rdi
  sub  rsp,24
  mov eax,57
  syscall
  cmp eax,-1
  je .fail
  mov [rsp],rbx
  mov [rsp+8],rbx
  mov qword [rsp+16],0
  mov eax,59
  mov rdi,rbx
  mov rsi,rsp
  xor  edx,edx
  syscall
  ; only gets here if sys_execve fails.
.fail:
  add  rsp,24
  pop  rbx
  xor eax,eax
  ret
