About ISO image
This is a standardized file format for creating CD images. A CD image is a single file
encapsulating the whole data of a CD including directories and files. Unpacking the
image to a CD restores the original data. Almost any CD burning program is able to
write CDs based on ISO images.
Update procedure
Burn ISO image onto CD
On most computers, burning an ISO image can be initiated by simply double clicking
the ISO image file. If this is not the case, the manual procedure is similar to the
following instructions. Nero Burning ROM (StartSmart) is used in this example.
