There are a lot of programs that create disk images. As well as programs that simulate the presence of CD and DVD drives in the system, which allow you to run existing images from the hard disk. However, this is not always convenient. For example, in cases when you need to burn the image of the installation disk and install programs while booting the computer from the drive.
Instructions
Step 1
To burn an image to disc, you need special programs for working with optical media. There are a lot of such programs: AmoK CD / DVD Burning, CDBurnerXP, aBurner, Ashampoo Burning Studio, Nero BurnLite complex and others. If such a program is not installed on your system, download and install it. The following describes how to burn an image using the example of two popular solutions: Nero and Ashampoo Burning Studio.
Step 2
After launching Ashampoo Burning Studio, you will see the main window, on the left side of which the main functions and capabilities of the program are listed. To burn an image, insert a suitable disc into the drive and select the "Create / Burn Disc Image" - "Burn Disc from Disc Image" command. By clicking the "Browse" button in the next window, specify the location of the image file. Specify other burning parameters, if necessary, clear the disc inserted in the drive and start recording.
Step 3
The easiest way to burn an image using products from the Nero suite is to launch the program in the intuitive StartSmart interface. Compared to the Ashampoo solution, it has slightly more presets. Specify the type of disc used (CD / DVD), in the visual menu, go to the "Copy" tab and select the "Burn image to disc" task. Specify the location of the image file, select the burn speed, insert the appropriate media and instruct the program to start burning.
