Images of virtual disks can not only be mounted on emulated drives of a computer, but also written to disks. In this case, you will have a copy of the storage medium from which the image was created. This is very convenient if you want to free up space on your hard drive. You may also need to write an image to disk if you need to open this image on another computer. Then you can burn the disk to the hard drive in the format of a virtual image, and then write the image to a disc.
Necessary
Computer, disk, Alcohol 120% program
Instructions
Step 1
To write an image to disk, you need the Alcohol 120% program. If you do not have this program yet, download it from the Internet and install it on your computer. After installation, restart your computer.
Step 2
Run the program. Wait for the virtual drives to be created. After that, you will be taken to the main menu of the program. Under Basic Operations, select Burn CD / DVD Images. An additional program window will appear. In this window, click "Browse" and specify the path to the virtual disk image that you want to burn. Click on this image with the left mouse button. Then click "Open" at the bottom of the window and the browse window will close. The image file has now been added.
Step 3
Click Next. In the window that appears, enter the basic settings for burning a disc. Find the line "Data Type" with an arrow next to it. Click on it with the left mouse button, after which a list will appear with the options for the data that you want to record. Depending on the situation, select the data option. If you are, for example, burning a regular disc, then select Normal DVD as the data option. If you need to write an image with a game for the PlayStation 2 video console to a disc, then, accordingly, in the data type line, select Sony PlayStation.
Step 4
After selecting the data type, find the "Error and buffer underrun protection" item. If this item is unchecked, check it. If you need to record several copies of this image, then in the "Number of copies" line, specify the desired number. Then press "Start". The process of writing the image file to disk will begin. Its duration depends on the type of data and the capacity of the file. After that, a notification about the successful completion of the process will appear in the program window.
Step 5
If you chose to burn a file in multiple copies, remove the burned disc from the drive, and insert a blank disc in its place. Then select "Continue recording" in the program window.
