Burning ISO file to CD

N

nemonow

I have ISO files that I want to burn to a CD. I used Nero 6.3 to burn
each of them to a CD and the burns completed successfully. But when I
try to read the CD using Windows Explorer, I get an error, "D:\ is not
accessible Incorrect Function". Any idea of whether this is an error
in reading the CD, burning the CD or with the original ISO file? Is
there a way to unpack the ISO file without burning it to a CD? If I
could do that, maybe I could burn it with all the separate files
instead of from the the ISO file.

You get "not accessible Incorrect Function" with blank disc. Double
check that the correct burner drive is selected: [Recorder, Choose
Recorder]

See what [Nero CD-DVD Speed, Disc Info] says about the burned(?) disc.

Use IsoBuster to extract the files from .iso:

The discs were burned. Nero says they have a 701 MB session on them
with 1 track, Data (mode 1). I have one burner in this machine and
that was the drive used.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I assume that an ISO file should have been expanded to files on the CD
when it is burned? If not, what should my burned CD appear?

An .iso is a plain image of ISO 9660 CD-ROM. You burn an .iso as an
image, not as a file: [Nero, Recorder, Burn Image], and point to the
..iso.

AFAIK ISO files must be burned with Nero's menu item:
Recorder / Burn Image...

I think it's covered in Nero's Help system under "Burning the image file".

Yes, that is how I burned them. I am aware that the iso file is not
intended to be burned to the disk as if it were a file, but rather the
software has to treat it as a disk image. Running ISOBuster, it
appears that the 700 MB track has *no* files in it. It looks like the
original iso file is somehow corrupted. It did recover a file by its
"signature", but it won't let me extract it as his is a premium
feature. It says it is an avi file, so obviously this is not the disc
I thought it was.

The .iso must have all the signatures for a valid .iso for Nero to burn
it without error. For example, it must have 'CD001' at 0x8001. But it
must not have a directory information - no file system. This is the
reason Windows Explorer "recognized" it as a blank disc.

Try one of the following (shareware) .iso editors. Maybe a trial version
let you extract the file.

WinISO http://www.winiso.com/
UltraISO http://www.ultraiso.com/
MagicISO http://www.magiciso.com/
DirectISO http://www.directiso.com
PowerISO http://www.poweriso.com/

Isobuster will show contents of .iso file as if it had been burned to
cd. You can extract but not sure how convenient this would be if many
files. You shouldn't have a problem burning to cd, just make sure you're
using correct menu item.

IsoBuster only extracts if you use the paid version. So now I can see
that the files aren't what I expected, but I can't extract the files
to see what they are. I have been trying other shareware programs and
have not yet found one to do the job. It's not a $30 problem to me,
so I may never find out what is in those files...

isoinfo -l -i isoname.iso
isoinfo -x FILENAME -i isoname.iso > extracted_filename

etc. Distributions are named `cdrtools' or `cdrecord'.

Hope this helps,
