Guide To Iso's

[Decatur]

Hello all, this is my personal guide to ISO's after not being able to find a good one.

 

 

What is an ISO?

In common use, an "ISO" is a file that contains the complete image of a disc. Such files are often used when transferring CD-ROM images over the Internet. Depending on who you're talking to, "ISO" may refer to all disc image files or only certain kinds.

 

Going by the more restrictive definition, an "ISO" is created by copying an entire disc, from sector 0 to the end, into a file. Because the image file contains "cooked" 2048-byte sectors and nothing else, it isn't possible to store anything but a single data track in this fashion. Audio tracks, mixed-mode discs, CD+G, multisession, and other fancy formats can't be represented.

 

Great, now where do these come from?

Basically, you can ISO's from any uploading site.

 

Now I have a bunch ISO's, what do I do next?

First, you'll need to get Daemon tools. (Link: http://www.download.com/Daemon-Tools-Pro/3...cdlPid=10894320 )

Daemon Tools is a program that takes a CD image (.iso) and mounts it to a virtual drive on your computer. Normally you would have to burn a CD image to a disk to be able to use it, but when you mount an image to a virtual drive, it makes the computer think that there is a CD in the drive. You have to register on this site in order to install DAEMON tools (www.disc-soft.com)

What do I do next?

Im getting screenshots.
