You don't burn ISO and MDF files the same way you burn other data files. Most burner programs have a special option for ISO files that you have to select. I'm not sure about MDF files. You might have to convert them to ISO. MDF files sometimes come with a companion MDS file and the pair might be burnable.

Do yourself a favor BACKUP!

I just used this the other day to burn Vista RC1 .img (2.52GB) to DVDRW.

I found that the Sonic burner software that came with my PC did not come with that feature. I go into Backup and look for Burn Image, as instructed when looking in it's Help file, to find it has the word "Upgrade" next to it. I click and they want $29 to add that feature.

I tried the one offered by Per noted above but it did not play out properly (I forget what my complaint was) but the one I have noted was simple, free and very effective. Vista RC1 is up and running on my other hard drive.

Regards,
Bryan
