Image Burning question

[Mungla]

How would I burn a series of .r00, .r01, r.02, ex. files onto a CD? I know they are image files, apparently, and I use the NERO Burning Rom Utility. Anyone that knows how to burn these files onto a CD with actual .exe, .bin, extensions leave a reply please!

Those files are compressed files--much like a zip. They are in a series. It starts with the RAR file. (or R00 depending on the person who made the archive). You can extract those files with WinRar from www.rarsoft.com (http://www.rarsoft.com) . After you install WinRar, then just double click the RAR file and choose extract. Depending on what is in the rar, (you said image, so its probably a bin/cue file), you have a couple of options to burn that. 1) if its bin/cue format then you need to have a program called CDRWin from cdrwin.com. You can also (maybe) extract the files from the BIN with a program called Winimage from www.winimage.com. (http://www.winimage.com.) If you open the BIN with winimage and don't see any files--then that means its a MODE2 BIN, which can only be burned with CDRwin (that i know of).
There are other kinds of Images, but that is the most likely of the group.

Excellent! Thanks man, looks like it works great. Yea, they are .bin files. I'll check into your program and see what format they are in. If not, will NERO or Adaptec CD Creator burn directly from the .bin file?

[SoopaStar]

they will not burn the bin file. different format. You have to use CDRWIn to burn a .bin file. The demo they have on their page is a 1x demo mode unless you buy it.

I used a full version of Adaptec Cd Writer that I found on my companies FTP. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
It worked pretty good. Atleast, I can say that I've been running WinMe for 12hrs with no problems yet. I thanks thee for your help.
