The process of burning an ISO image is not same as making a data or a music CD. To create the disc, you need a CD burning program, such as GEAR PRO Professional Edition, Roxio Easy CD Creator, or Nero Burning ROM. Neither Windows XP nor Vista can create this type of CD on its own.
-
Gear PRO Professional Edition: Use the "Open external physical image" feature to burn the .ISO to a CD. Refer to the software's documentation for further instructions.
-
Nero Burning ROM: Use the "Burn Image" feature to burn the .ISO image to CD. Refer to the software's documentation for further instructions.
-
Easy CD Creator: Use the "Create CD from Disc Image" feature or "Record to CD" to burn the .ISO image to CD. Refer to the software's documentation for further instructions.
