Maybe you can try this Ted.

The above is a free ISO burner for Windows.
Think of an ISO as a picture negative. All the info is
there but it does not look like a color picture. You
have to develop it first. To develop an ISO you use a
CD of DVD burner plus a program that can load and burn
an ISO image (ie. the negative).

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.

hi Glenn
the more I read about ISO the more confused I get !
I have d/l'd an iso reader and made iso bootable disks but my bios does not
recognise them and the reader simply turns the file to txt with hieroglyphics !
how does one make use of ISO ? where do I go to get a simple explanation of
what it is that I am trying to use and understand how to get started with this,
what appears to be a new file type ?
cheers Ted

That's new enough, if there isnt anything newer.

Firmware updates the software in your burner, and *may* fix some problems.
Unless you are absolutely sure you have the firmware for your *exact*
burner, it may cause a problem.
> And if this isn't it, wouldn't a restore point work?
There is no restore points for burner firmware. Firmware is in your burner,
not in your computer or the OS.

Looks like the burner's driver. Which is not firmware. Since Softpedia seems
to confuse things up, I would not trust them. For your model LDW-411S there
is a firmware upgrade available from Lite-On directly at
http://www.liteonit.eu/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=178 but it seems
to be the same one you already found. But you may want to read their
instructions and info.
