Burning an ISO Image File in Windows
The ISO file format is an archive file format that contains an exact, binary copy of a CD, DVD, or Blu-ray disc. ISO image files are often used for creating backup copies of software program discs and for distributing large software packages online. Burning an ISO image file to a CD or DVD is a fairly simple process, and can be done from within the Windows operating system. In this guide, we will show you how to burn an ISO image file in Windows.
Requirements
• A blank CD or DVD
• An ISO image file
• A computer running Windows XP or later
Step 1: Insert Your Disc
The first step to burning an ISO image file is inserting your blank disc into your computer’s CD or DVD drive. Make sure to use a disc that is compatible with your drive, and make sure the disc is blank.
Step 2: Open the ISO Image File
The next step is to open the ISO image file. To do this, right-click on the ISO file and select “Open With”. Then select “Windows Disc Image Burner” from the list of programs. This will open the Windows Disc Image Burner application, which will allow you to burn the ISO image file to your disc.
Step 3: Select the Drive
Once the Windows Disc Image Burner application is open, you will need to select the drive that contains your blank disc. Typically, this will be the “D:” drive. Once you have selected the drive, click the “Burn” button to begin burning the ISO image file to your disc.
Step 4: Confirm Burning
Once you have clicked the “Burn” button, a confirmation dialog box will appear. This dialog box will ask you to confirm that you want to burn the ISO image file to your disc. If you are sure that you want to continue, click the “Yes” button to proceed.
Step 5: Monitor Progress
Once you have clicked the “Yes” button, the Windows Disc Image Burner application will begin burning the ISO image file to your disc. This process can take several minutes, depending on the size of the ISO image file and the speed of your drive. You can monitor the progress of the burning process by watching the progress bar. When the progress bar reaches 100%, the burning process is complete and you can remove your disc.
