Maybe it sounds stupid, but I am writing simply ;)
By typing "su root". The system will then ask you for the password.
To mount manually an ISO to the harddisk, you need to create an empty 
folder (mkdir) and then
mount -t iso9660 -o loop /source/of/iso /folder/target

On this way I successfully mounted an iso file on the harddisk. Hope 
this is somehow usefull for you.
