I've always heard you have to mounte .iso files onto a CD using a proggram, and i ussaly heard people recomend demoean or somethign smiliar to that?

My friend made me a copy of a CD with a .iso, and didn't tell me waht to do with it, I dont know what he didn't rip the CD with the files....It's not like it was copy writghted or anything......it was a series of shareware game 'smade in like 1990 lmao.

Anyways, I have a CDburner/DVD drive, and I have the .iso file, and I have Nero express if it helps. How would I go about actully useing the file's on it?
 
yeah, daemon tools is a good program to mount images with. Once you mount it, it works just like a cd in your cd drive.

You first download daemon tools, install it, might have to restart
then you right click the littlet ray icon, go to virtual drives, and set number of devices to w/e you want. Next, go to device 0 and click mount image. Then you browse for the iso file and click ok. THen the iso should act like a cd.
 
well you can burn the iso onto a CD. A .iso file is the raw data stripped from the CD. When you copy files from a cd, usually they are decoded into actual files. The iso is just the raw bitstream data.

So if you have an iso file, it needs to be read as a CD. You can either burn it as an image to a CD and run the CD or mount it with daemon tools, which will basicly act like a virtual CD drive. The computer sees both methods as being the exact same
 
Oh, cool thanks. So if i just put the .iso onto the Cd when i insert it i would be able to see the files like normal and use the install and stuff?
 
if you burn it as an image.

When you open your burning software, "burn image" will be an option. If you try to just throw it on the CD as a data file, it might not work.
