Burning .iso to CD or DVD?

[Roy]

I thought that Windows 7 had a built-in burner, and all you had to do

was right-click the .iso image and it would run. It doesn't work. I

get nothing.

Works here ok - is your CD/DVD burner working? Is the CD/DVD blank?

When you say you get nothing when you right click, do you mean no

context menu, no "Burn disc image" listing on the context menu, or that

"Burn disc image" doesn't work when you click on it?

Sorry. I should have said "I get a context menu, but there's no "Burn

disc image" listing on it.

Tried that. All it did was tell me that there was no program to "open

the file". I.e., Win7 didn't recognize the extension ".iso".

Why don't you just try to drop the file on a blank DVD to see what Win 7

does with it? DVD isn't a lot of money to blow away.

Roy,



Just d/l and run this.

Make sure you associate it with "iso" files, then all you have to do is

double-click on the file and imgburn will open automatically.

Are you certain that your optical disk drive is supported by Windows 7 for

writing? Over the years the various commercial mastering programs (Roxio,

for example) have at times required updates when hardware manufacturers have

come out with design changes. Try checking on the vendor's web site to see

if there's any statement of compatibility.

Just noticed this thread: I have not thought much so sorry if this is not

very coherent.



What happens with an ISO file depends upon your PC. An ISO file can be read

by a utility program such as Winzip in order to convert it to files, the

result will be as though you have copied a disk to the hard drive and then

you can run the setup file if that is the type of thing it is, but also it

might be, for example, a film or films.



If you want the file written as a disk image to a DVD or Bluray so you will

have a film disk, put a DVD or bluray in the drive, x out of whatever pops

up, then right click on the ISO file, select Send To and select the

DVD/Bluray drive. A question will come up asking you, basically, to choose

what sort of ISO it is. Select your choice and Bob's yr uncle.



During doing this you might notice that one of the options on right clicking

the ISO is that you can read it using Winzip or whatever you have got to

unzip stuff.



Also you can choose if you want to write the disk image to a DVD even if it

is the type you can read with Winzip unless of course it is too big. That

might be for example if it was a software ISO that you wanted to give to

another PC.



To anyone who thinks I am promoting illegal activity here: there are plenty

of films and software ISOs that it is legal to pass on.
