Which one is the iso?

[Andy Pandy]

I downloaded Windows 7 64 RC last night and downloaded img burn also. How do I create the ISO with img burn? Windows 7 is a rar file you can see it in the screen below.

Thanks.

it already is an ISO file that you have..

says in the filename

turn on 'show extensions for known filetypes' in the windows explorer tools, options view


just burn that file as an image (iso) to disc using imgburn

I feel really dumb right now but where is the windows explorer tools bit. I have opened up the AVS4YOU software and I select "Burning Software" then "AVS DVD authoring"? I have never burnt a dvd before so I'm sorry for the nooby questions

-EDIT-

I downloaded the wrong software. I now have IMG burn ..

I use Ultimate DVD Burner 3.0 to burn ISO files. Download it, double click the exe (no installation needed) then on the right hand side click the Burn ISO button, browse to the ISO file you have and it will start burning it.

I have opened up IMG burn and browsed for the files, i selected the winrar folder and it is going to copy everything from it, and put it onto a disk. That right? What speed should the burn be at? 4x?

 

[millsy888]

4x is a good speed to burn at

I still dont understand how to just burn the iso to the disk. Surely I dont write the entire contents of the winrar to the disk?

 

[OzZie]

Nope, you're burning the file you opened that contains the files.

With ImgBurn, just press burn image to DVD and select the iso file. Job done

It's not a winrar file that you have. You have an ISO file with which winrar is attempting to open. Use Ultimate DVD burner as suggested above and click the "Burn ISO" button and choose the ISO file you have and it'll do the rest for you

Ok I will try the ultimate dvd burner, I feel very silly asking these questions but this is way over my head

Nero if u have it, just click open select the iso and click burn baby burn.

don't worry, we all start somewhere!

 

[Andy Pandy]

Once it is downloaded is there a way to test if it works or not? Im going to be gutted it it doesnt work tomorrow when my new stuff comes!

 

[rctneil]

yep, Download Virtual Clone Drive (freeware) install it and it'll make a virtual cd drive in My Computer. Right click it , choose mount and choose your iso file and see what happens!

in the IMGburn front screen, select burn image to disc, as seen here, top left..

winrar is able to open ISO's, just ignore that..

an ISO is an exact 'image' of a cd/dvd

 

[Andy Pandy]

I clicked the select burn image to disk, found the file but it just says "Device not ready, medium not present." This is really frustrating. I have tried img burn and the other program and it wont start. Help

Did you put a blank disk in the drive?
