[grimman]

mkay. i've heard it's supposed to work. i don't know. i use ecdc myself, but a friend of mine wants to try anyways...

he's using nero 5.5.x.x... what settings do you use?

Straight from the Nero website:

Can Nero burn ISO images?

Yes, e. g. the redhat 6.1 ISO image

Proceed as follows:

1. Start Nero
   
2. Choose the menu command "File"->"Burn CD image"
   
3. Choose as file type: all files (*.*)
   
4. Select the ISO image file
   
5. Now you will see a dialog, asking you, if you want to supply detailled image parameters. This is necessary, since Nero needs to know exactly, what format the image file has to be able to burn it correctly.
   
6. Enter the following parameters:
   - Mode 1 (assuming, that you created a mode 1 image)
   - 2048 bytes per sector (corresponds to a mode 1 sector)
   - 0 bytes header and trailer (assuming, the image contains
   only "pure" ISO data and no other special header
   or trailer)
   - no swapping or scrambling (assuming, that the file contains
   bytes in the correct order to be written without word swapping)
   
7. Click on "burn" and (for safety considerations) use an empty cdr.
   

This procedure relies upon the assumption, that you have a "normal" ISO mode 1 image file. You can check this, by opening the image with a hex editor (maybe UltraEdit, because this prog doesn't try to read the entire image into memory (after setting the read-only flag) and look at offset 8000 hex (this corresponds to sector 16, where the ISO [p]rimary [v]olume [d]descriptor is stored on cd). If you see some text like "CD001" (the PVD magic), then burning with the above procedure should work fine.

Good luck :)

i do pretty much what ace has posted....

but:

1) the newest neros eg: 5.5.5.1, defaults to look for .nrg and .iso .....so no need to select all files.

2) when u get the dialogue box after u have double clicked the file u want to burn.....i just hit ok......dont change a damn thing in the options box....leave it at defaults.(i havent burned a coaster yet this way, i assume most .iso's from reputable companies are built alike)

3) hit that burn button lol (ok...so ace does it the same way at this point lol)
