An ISO file is, as you probably know, a container file which has many different files (usually) inside it. It's a little like a zipfile, except the data is not compressed. To use an ISO file, you need a burning software like Nero (or any other burning software that recognise ISO files, also called image files) and ask the program to burn the ISO. Once burned on the disc, you will have a perfect clone of what was inside the ISO. Your computer does not need to automatically recognise an ISO file as long as you have Nero or some other program to load the file into and burn. Just dont burn it as a data file, you must use the menu command called "Burn image" or something similar. glenn -- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
