An ISO is a cd image. If you use a program besides windows built in burner, you can burn and iso and it will read like the original disk. You can also get a program called Alcohol 120% or Daemon tools and mount a cd image on a virtual drive.

An ISO file is a sortof zipped-up file. When you burn it to the CD, it extracts itself into normal files and folders. However, you need a special program to burn it. Nero is my favorite, but free ISO burners can probably be found online. (hint: google)

bobo i managed to d/l another .iso of windows vista but it wont accept the cd key from the disk you sent me. the one i burnt works fine. do you think you could upload the iso file onto my ftp so that i can burn it and the cd key will work?
