3 Methods to burn an ISO Image onto a CD

DATARECOVERYUNION.COM05 mins

Nero Burning ROM Just like the old boot floppy diskettes, CD or DVD-ROM discs can boot to a DOS or other operating systems.  Just copying files to the CD will not work because the CD will need a master boot record and other hidden Startup operating system files.  Instead, the preferred method is to create a single file, an image of a bootable CD, called an ISO image.  Most CD-ROM burning applications recognize this type of image file.  Once the ISO file is burned as an image, then the new CD is a clone of the original and bootable. Besides the bootable OS, the CD will also hold the various software applications that will be run from the CD.

Method 1: Nero – Burning ROM

Nero Burning ROM can be used to record a CD from a .iso file. This programs is available from Nero Software, or you may already have it on your computer.

Steps to create a CD if you have installed Nero – Burning ROM:

  1. Download the ISO CD image to a folder on your computer.
  2. Insert a blank CD in your CD-RW drive.
  3. Start Nero Burning.
  4. Follow the wizard steps to select Data CD creation.
  5. When the wizard closes, click Burn Image on the File menu.
  6. In the Open dialog box, select the ISO file, and then click Open.
  7. In the wizard, click Burn to write the image to the CD.

Method 2: EasyCD Creator

You can use Roxio/Sonic EasyCD Creator to create a CD from a .iso file. This program is available from Roxio/Sonic, or you may already have it installed on your computer. When the program is installed, it is automatically associated with the .iso file extension in Windows Explorer. Steps to create a CD if you have installed EasyCD Creator:
