    Files with an *.ISO extension
    OK - here's a couple of ways.

    I think WinISO could extract the files from the ISO. That's what it says anyway - http://www.winiso.com/. Or maybe Nero could do it? Haven't got an ISO on my PC to try it on.

    You could just burn the ISO to a CD, then just access the files you need on the CD. But I guess this isn't an option, otherwise you won't be asking this question.

    Finally there are some programs where you can mount CD images (ISO etc.) to a virtual CD rom drive. Basically, your PC will believe it has an extra CD drive, but it's just some software. Then you could just copy the files from that "drive" to your disk just like your burned the CD. Try Daemon Tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc). I've used it before an it's pretty sweet.

    Hope this helps.

    Re: Files with an *.ISO extension
    I believe you have answered my question... no problem to burn and then read... if this is what happens.

    In case you wonder, this is re a special boot disc...
    Ubcd21.iso which is supposed to solve the problem of boot up for PC's without A Drives... a common thing today.
    If you would like more info, ask, redfin

    How did you do it?
    Do I simply copy the .iso file to a CD?
    I still can not read the iso.
    Do I have to have WinISO to extract data from it? :-/

    The ISO file is the image of a complete CD. What you need is a cd program that is capable of writing ISO images. Then you can burn the ISO to a CD and thus the CD will be created exactly as the original author intended.

    If you want to extract the data directly, you can use an iso manipulator or mount it as a virtual cdrom and take the files from there. I assume "WinISO" is one of the former type.

    If you don't have a program capable of burning ISOs (hint you should), you can grab cdrecord here:

    http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/.../cdrecord.html

    It looks like there is a windows version, but I haven't used it. Cdrecord is not "point and click" so take a look around for a windows frontend (there's probably one around somewhere.) :)

    I think winRAR can open ISO's too, without burning them to CD.

    Files with an *.ISO extension
    I'm trying to burn a Linux rescue CD (name: systemrescuecd-x86-0.2.12.iso). Since it just occupies 104M, can I burn anything after it without affecting its boot up function?

    Yes. You should burn the ISO first, and then any additional files as a second session.

    Thks for your prompt reply. I'm using Nero 6 demo version and I can't locate the option for "session". Should I use "Track-at-once" instead? BTW, can I add any files later (1 day after the 1st burn) after the burning of the rescue disk iso? Many thanks again.

    I have never used Nero, sorry. :(

    You should use "session at once" or "disc at once."

    You can add files later, if you burn the disc as multisession.

    RAR will take an ISO file and make an RAR file from it, no need to burn CDs. I just did it for the first time and it works! But if you need a workable CD then burn it.

    Re: Files with an *.ISO extension
    In Windows, there is another cool thing to do with .iso files.

    Download the free program, DAEMON Tools. It sits in the tray and lets you mount .iso files as VIRTUAL cds/dvds. The program is at

    http://www.deamon-tools.cc

    Quite handy, especially if you've got a large hard disk(s).

    I'm using magiciso to handle iso image. It is better than winiso. Magiciso also has a built-in iso burner. You can burn iso image to cd in ease.

    If you are referring to Adobe Photoshop, that is a copyright protected program. The only way its available for download is as a pirated version. If you want Photoshop, please purchase a legal copy. If you can't afford it (I know its expensive), try Jasc's Paint Shop Pro. Its supposedly almost as good as Photoshop for a fraction of the cost (under $100).

    Please don't ask or expect us to help you steal software.
