i downloaded a file last night which was a .iso file and its a little over 2 gb. i'm not to sure how to run the file, i read somewhere that you burn it as an image file which i did. but i'm stuck and i'm not to sure what to do after i burn it as an image file

 

It's a copy of a CD-ROM or a DVD rom?

I don't bother burning them,but I do, i use a program called NERO (costs money), there's other programs out there, but NERO is the best.

What I normally do is mount them as a "virtual drive" Just add an extra virtual CD-ROM to my computer. You can get a program called Daemon Tools or D-Tools which will do this.

That's the best option. Mount the drive, install, unmount the drive.

 

The following programs should accomplish what you need:

Nero, Alcohol 120%, Daemon Tools, PowerISO

 

The video tributes that I create for the funeral home I work for are burned as ISO files. After I burn it, I just put the DVD back into the computer and it runs just like any other DVD.

Probably a stupid question but did you burn it onto a DVD-R?

 

Dont waste any dvds or cd's use a virtual cd rom drive. I love Daemon Tools, i also use power iso and magic iso. They work great. And Daemon Tools is free and works amazing

 

hey i used that Daemon Tool like you all said and it worked great, thanks everyone

 

In addition to the ones mentioned, CloneCD works great too, free, small, works!
