what does mounting a CD/DVD image actually mean?

Ive got a game on my PC that is an Iso image and another that is a UIF image, but i cant open the game straight away, so i downloaded magicdisk to 'mount' it, ( there seems to be alot of problems with the program like its corrupt or something, so i dont reccomend it. i'm gonna try daemon tools now or alcohol 120%.)

technically, is this mounting software (such as magicdisk) the equivalent of a CD/DVD driver, that is simply a program to open the image files, or is there more to it than this? i'm only just learning about image files etc now
