You might need to burn an ISO of an operating system, software app, CD,
DVD…etc. It doesn’t matter what the ISO image is, burning an image is a fairly
straight-forward process and here we’ll take a look at three free options to
accomplish it.
Using ImgBurn
ImgBurn is an awesome free utility that will create ISO images, allow
out burn almost anything, and a lot more. Although there are a lot advanced
features available, burning an ISO to disc is easy. Download and install
ImgBurn (link
below) taking the defaults in the install
wizard.The main thing to watch for and uncheck during
installation is when it offers the worthless Ask Toolbar.
The easiest way to use
ImgBurn is to burn an image to disc is pop in a blank disc to the CD/DVD drive,
right-click on the ISO file, and select Burn using ImgBurn.
ImgBurn opens up with the
source and destination fields already filled in. You can leave the default
settings, then click the Write button.
You’ll notice that the
ImgBurn Log screen opens, this is by default and is meant to show error
messages you may receive during the writing process.
A successful burn! That is
all there is to it…click Ok and close out of ImgBurn.
Use ISO Recorder
ISO Recorder (link
below) is another
great utility for burning ISO images to disc. They have a version for XP,
Vista, and Windows 7 (32 & 64-bit Versions). Pop your blank disc into your CD/DVD
drive and right-click on the ISO image file and select Copy
image to CD from the
Context Menu.
In the next screen the image
file path is in the Source Image file field. Under Recorder select the drive
with your blank disc, select a recording speed and click Next.You’ll see a
progress screen while the data is written to the disc and finalizing…
That’s it! Your disc will pop
out and you can click Finish to close out of ISO Recorder.
Use Windows 7
If You’re using Windows 7,
use the built in Windows Disc Image Burner feature to burn ISO images to
disc.The process is very straight-forward, and for a full walkthrough on
this.You don’t need an expensive commercial application to burn an ISO image to
disc. Using any one of these free utilities will get the job done quite nicely.
