Bitcoin was bought in 2010 using paypal, price at time 0.03 USD
Wallet placed in password protected archive burned to rewritable DWD drive
After this Adobe Photoshop archive was added to same DWD drive, writing session not closed
10 years later DWD reader is not able to detect drive
Used DWD recovery tool to dump image 4GB to iso file, uploaded to google drive
Willing to share 1 BTC, who can make this ISO file mountable and possible to view archive contents
Both passwords for archive and wallet itself known

So all you have to do is mount the ISO image and read it's contents ?
You can do that easily by doing a little research. Why offer 1 BTC for it ?

I would suggest directly opening the ISO image in winrar and extract it.
If it doesn't work then try using PowerISO which is a tool to mount ISO images.

It does not want to mount in Windows 10, guess PC from 2010 required with Windows 7 to open it
Tried lots of combinations, other specialist messaged that he was actually able to open it up to step when archive file list is visible, yet waiting for reply from him, steps was used.
