Hi,

Does someone know how one converts files/folders from winrar to iso and burn it to cd/dvd?

Thanks

Just about any decent CD burning program can do it. Such as Nero or Roxio. You can find the instructions online just by googling something like nero build iso files .

You can also use ISO programs, such as UltraISO, WinISO etc.. But there's no reason to HAVE to use one of these if you already own Nero or a simliar burning software.

Thanks.

I know how to create .iso file but can't covert to .iso format after extracting files from .winrar...

Can nero also convert files as well as burn them?

If you dont have Nero or some other burning program that supports making ISO's there are a few freeware ISO maker programs available.

there is also a freeware CD\DVD burning program called Silent Night Micro burner that is less than 1mb and does not require installation to use. it supports building and burning ISO files. version 3.0 is freeware.

No, I've got nero, I just don't know how to do it.

Would you be kind enough to explain this step by step...

P.S. Thanks for the links

Try this.. there's plenty of guides out there to burn ISOs using Nero.

Thanks a lot, I managed to do it.

This is a common problem with Winra. You unzip an ISO file only to get another what looks like a zip file.

The way around this is to open Winra, and click on options/settings then the integration tab, and untick the ISO box, and click ok.

Now When you unzip an ISO file you will see An ISO file rather than what looks like another zip file.
