    How do I run a program from an ISO, as opposed to having to put the disk into my Macbook Pro?

    You can make "dmg" files from a cd using disk utility, these are essentially iso's and OXs can mount these natively.
    otherwise if you have "toast" you can make an iso and mount it very easily.

    Is the disk utility in the Applications folder, or something I need to purchase?

    I am using the program Rosetta Stone and I would like to run it without having my CD in the laptop. I tried the utility but it didn't work.

    I used to use a program called Virtual Drive on Windows....

    Don't .iso files mount automatically when you double click on them?
