Mount ISO Images from the Control Panel

Mounting attaches installation or recovery media. Selecting Force reset & boot from selected ISO also restarts the VPS. Save your work before choosing that option.

Open Installation → ISO Boot to find the media selector and mounting controls.

Before You Start

Control Panel Access

Confirm you can sign in to the EDBB Control Panel and open the service Control Panel.

Maintenance Window

Plan a short outage if you will force-reset or restart the VPS to boot from the ISO.

Console Ready

Enable VNC via the quick actions (Server On column) or follow the VNC enable guide if it is currently disabled.

Use the EDBB ISO Library

1

Open the Installation tab

From your VPS Control Panel, switch to Installation, then the ISO Boot sub-tab.
2

Pick an ISO

Choose from the built-in helper images (Linux rescue tools, Windows password helper, etc.).
3

Mount & reboot

Tick Force reset & boot from the selected ISO, then click Mount ISO. The VPS reboots automatically into that image.

Leaving Force reset unchecked attaches media without requesting a forced restart.


Work from the Console

1

Launch the console

Click Open Console to open the portal console (or connect with your VNC client).
2

Follow boot prompts

Most ISOs ask you to press a key quickly—watch the console so you don’t miss the prompt.
3

Finish your tasks

Complete the installer or recovery steps. Leave the ISO mounted if you need multiple restarts.

Unmount When Finished

1

Return to ISO Boot

Return to the VPS control panel and find Unmount ISO in the left-hand quick-action column.
2

Unmount

Click Unmount ISO. Check that the sidebar CD-ROM field returns to Empty.
3

Reboot if needed

Use Restart → Restart VPS if a restart from disk is needed, then disable VNC when finished.
Unmounting ensures the VPS returns to its local disk on the next restart.
