How To Burn or Write ISO Files to CD

Though some computer tasks apparently seem so easy but only one understands the difficulty of the task when one gets down to perform it.

I experienced a similar scenario when I was about to burn the gOS ISO image file to a blank CD disk.

My Nero Burning ROM version had expired and I needed to burn the gOS.iso file to my blank CD immediately. Luckily I found a free utility that would do the job of burning ISO image files to a blank CD. The great thing is that you don’t need Nero for this anymore and no sort of technical knowledge is required either.

ISO Recorder is a free Windows XP utility that allows you to burn/write ISO image files to a CD. The utility can be downloaded from here. Once you have downloaded the tool just follow the instructions and you are good to go:

Insert a blank CD in your CD-RW drive.
Open the folder containing the ISO image file.
Right click the file name and then click “Copy image to CD”
Follow the steps in the ISO Recorder Wizard to write the image to the CD.

I use Power ISO but it is not a freeware.

Yes, ISO recorder will get the job done but I will also like to recommend another great tool that is called “ImgBurn”. It will allow you to not only burn ISO images but also allows you to compile your own CD/DVD. Also includes numerous data verification options. Also Supports a huge amount of image types ISO, NRG, Bin, CDR etc. Supports shell extension as well. Really worth checking out. I am using it for quite some time. Still not as feature packed as Nero but you are getting it for free.

This might be of some interest to you - http://www.lanwriter.com/index.asp

Since it is about writing through networks when your CD writer on your laptop in your organization is disabled!
