if it's a program or a game, daemon tools should mount it for use, if it's a movie, i'd use vlc media player to watch it. isobuster will basically unzip the file for you. nero is used to burn it for use as a regular cd. for example, there are several file extensions like .iso there are: .nri, .nr3, .nrw, .nr4, .nra, .nrm, .nre, .nrv, .nsd, .nrd, .nmd, .nhv, .nrb, .nrs, .nrh, .nru, .nrc, and .nrh - all mostly cd compilations the more common are: .iso, .nrg, and .cue if you burn this file alone to a cd, it will run the designated program/game/move for instance, i have TheTransporter2.nrg on my computer downloaded, i open up nero, go to burn image, and select the file, then just click burn, and now it works in my dvd player. however, i don't believe these work in playstations. .nrg won't for me, and i also have Jarhead in .iso format, but it won't work in there too, only on a dvd player
Yeah but my mate wants it so its better if I put it onto a CD it also means when I re-install windows which I need to do soon I have the thing on a cd.
well, you could do that, or, you could also zip the file and put it on megaupload or rapidshare and just write down the link, but that'd probably take a bit longer
Can I just get this straight though, if I burn the iso file to the CD when I put the CD back into my PC will it run as if its the actual CD from the program or as if its a CD with a iso file on.....? If you see what I mean.
I get your problem. With normal programs, you will just burn the .iSO file on the cd, and it wont work as a real CD. I recommend Nero 7, it has an option to burn a iSO file on the CD and then it will really work just as a normal CD. If you want to use the game/program, without spending a CD, get deamon tools. I use it, it's fast and free. I'll write a tutorial soon about using deamon tools and nero.
Okay this'll take some time because I formatted and have to re-install PS & Nero Now I assume you want to burn them on a cd. Okay, get Nero 7 here: http://httpdl5.de.nero.com/software/nero7/...7.0.8.2_eng.exe and install it. Switch to CD Modus(TOP) (KK wait, installing nero too ) Goto the tab backup and then burn image to cd, or something, click it, select the iSO file and burn
Ive got nero smart start on my desktop when I double click that all these different options come up :S I dunno wanna install another nero my dad my get a bit pissed. Can you explain what to do from nero smart start
go to start -> program files -> ahead/nero (depends on the version) -> nero burning rom do not use start smart...
fairly simple for daemonz tools... 1. Load Daemonz tools. once done, you should see a green/red lightning bolt in your tool tray. 2. Right click it and go up to Virtual CD/DVD-ROM 3. Once hovered over that, you'll see 'Set number of drives'. I set mine to one since i only use one program with this (warcraft iii.) Setting it to one is like having 1 extra cd/dvd-rom drive, 2 would be like having 2 extra, and so-on. 4. Go back to Virtual CD/DVD-ROM, and select 'DEVICE 0: [F]: No Media'. This says No Media if you have nothing mounted. once you mount something, it will change to 'DEVICE 0: [F]: ".img name"'. By the way, the '0' in 'DEVICE 0' and the '[F]' are subject to change. For instance, if I have two Drives set, my list shows: DEVICE 0: [F]: D:\WC3.IMG and.... DEVICE 1: : No Media 5. Ok, now hover over the Drive that you would like to mount the image to, and then select 'Mount Image'. That will bring up a box to select the image you want mounted on your Virtual Drive. 6. It should autostart the CD (just as if a CD has entered thru the actual cd-ROM) if you have auto-start enabled (Right-Click the lightning bolt -- Options -- Autostart). I think thats all you need to know, i just run my warcraft image file by defaults, and im all set. if you have any questions when using it, dont be shy to ask.
