The ISO that you are asking about is a way to copy the contents of a CD to a file.

Jefro, In the link I gave above, there is this explanation: ISO files are actually images of complete CDs compiles as one whole image, just like Ghost does for hard disks and partitions. ISO images can be loaded into several different CD recording software packages to create CDs. i_XpUser

Thank you very much, grr to Saber but not bad. So is it best to burn one to a disk by using the right-click method and then send to CD or to use something like Nero? L.Dudley
