    Or mount the mdf image in virtual drive software (such as Daemon Tools) and install as though from optical drive.

    You can use Alcohol 120% to mount the mdf image to a virtual drive, and then use Alcohol 120%'s "Image Making Wizard" to turn it into an .ISO, then use HDLdump.

    If you don't have Alcohol 120%, you can also use DAEMON Tools to mount the .MDS/.MDF image. Note that .MDF images usually come with a .MDS file (just like a .BIN file comes with a .CUE file). Then after you have mounted the .MDS file to a virtual drive in DAEMON Tools, you can turn it into an .ISO using DVDDecrypter.

    Sometimes MDF images are simply ISO9660 images, go figure...

    Just create a new image in iso-format, then there's no need of converting anything.
