What is an ISO image?
An ISO is a file that contains the complete image of a disc, from sector 0 to the end. Such files are often used when transferring CDROM images over the Internet, and are commonly used as a way of offering Linux distributions for download. The latest version of the e-smith server and gateway, for example, is available from e-smith.org as a 335MB download. Once you have it on your hard drive, you can burn it onto CD using one of many CD-burning software packages.
More precisely, an ISO image is an image of an ISO 9660 CD-ROM. ISO is short for the International Organization for Standardization. (ISO is not an acronym. Instead, the name derives from the Greek word iso, which means equal.) The ISO 9660 format defines the file system used by almost all CDROMs of Windows, Mac, Linux and so on.
Some CD-burning applications create plain ISO 9660 images, while others interpret the ISO format as they like. Nero, from Ahead Software, uses the NRG suffix to name its ISO images. ISO images created by Easy CD Creator (from Roxio, Inc., which was spun off from Adaptec, Inc. in September, 2000) contain some lead-in and lead-out bytes around the core of the 2048-byte sector. This explains why ISO images created by Easy CD Creator cannot be burnt by all burning packages (for example, CDRWin complains about the file not beeing a multiple of the sector size). On the other hand, Easy CD Creator can burn plain ISO images written by other packages.

I use Nero to burn images to a cd. Do a google search for 'download nero' to get the trial version - talk to me in PM to get a hacked version.
If you have any other questions talk to me in PM - and I dont mean PM on this site. I mean PM me on msn or aim or yahoo or icq. NOTE: I am not always home but my machine is always on - so even if it shows me as online double check my status to see if I am there or not - or send me a message - if I am there I will reply - NOTE on your first message if you dont tell me who you are and how you got my screen name I will most likely block you. So make your first message detailed explaining to me who you are and your reasoning for PM'ing me. I am very careful of who I chat with online. Yes. I am paranoid. Dont ask.
