I once got a DAA file from a P2P network. Initally I was at a lose about how to extract the data. Finally I found a method that works. First get the ‘poweriso’ utilty for Linux. You can get it at the PowerISO website
Then convert the DAA file to a regular ISO file using this command…
poweriso convert daa_image.daa -o iso_image.iso -ot iso
