For burning iso's on XP you might try the advice from this post: <matt probst quote> Windows XP has very decent burning software built in. If you put in a blank recordable disk it will give you the option to open up a temp directory... You drag and drop files to burn into that directory and then at the click of a mouse you burn that dir onto a cd.
Windows XP does not make burning raw ISO files easy though, you need a companion program like: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm That will using XP's cd recording ability to record ISOs. I recommend downloading and installing that program. (You don't need the "Create CD" program, you only need the isorecorder program..) Then to record an ISO image, just download it to your computer.. drop a blank CD in your drive.. If a dialog box comes up asking you what you want to do, just hit cancel.. then right click on the ISO image and select "Copy Image to CD"... and follow the few simple steps.. -matt </matt probst quote> On Thu, 2003-09-18 at 20:57, Dave Wilson wrote: > Alright guys, here's the deal.
