CAN'T EXTRACT ISO FILE

Install the above.
Then, right-click on the Vista ISO file(if it is an ISO file!)> Copy image
to CD

I have similar problem.
On trying to open a Micro Focus Cobol software download, it stated that
(among other things) it required Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I
downloaded a free version "Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express) which
is suffixed "iso".
Search of the internet elicited that "7zipfree_8675.exe" was the
program to open the ISO file.
This opens a Readme.txt file in Notepad which reads:
"This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating
system
that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification."
(For the life of me I do not understand why Micro Focus uses this file
format anyway.)
Help to open this file please.

The iso format is a normal method of transmitting files that need to be
burned to a CD/DVD in order to provide a bootable or installable disk. Just
use one of the free iso burning applications available (the one I use is
CDBurner XP Pro) and burn the iso to a disk - nothing strange or uncommon
about it...

Even if you already have Nero, please give Imgburn a try...it's much
easier to use and carries a smaller footprint and free as well.

Here, here! I whole hardily agree. Definitely ImgBurn is the way to go.

ISO files don't need extraction. they just need to be burnt.

Why some prefer free software over commercial software is beyond my
ken.

But just so others will know...IF one has Nero he has no need for a
second program. Just make sure ISOs are registered to Nero,
doubleclick on the ISO, stick a blank CD or DVD in the drive, and burn
away.

By the way, the correct adverb to use with "agree" is "heartily", not
"hardily". You should have written "I whole-heartily agree". As in "I
agree with my whole heart...." Writing "whole hardily" makes
absolutely no sense at all. So others will know in the future, it's
easy to tell an adverb from an adjective. Most adverbs end with "ly",
while adjectives don't. Remember, adverbs modify verbs, while
adjectives modify nouns.
"The ball is red" is an example of "red" modifying "ball"(a noun",
while "The Sun is shining redly" is an example of "red" modifying "is
shining" (a verb phrase). Tacking on "ly" to the end of "red" makes
it an adverb.

How does the word "hard" modify the verb, "agree"? One COULD write,
"I hardly agree", but it would be the opposite of what you are trying
to say. "Hardily agree" is a nonexistent word phrase.

Thanks for the grammar lesson. I'm sure the OP learned a lot from that.

Evidlently you didn't.
But of course, since I responded to your post, the lesson wasn't meant
for the OP.

 

[Donald L McDaniel]

Thanks for the grammar lesson, I'm sure it will help the OP come to a
resolution with his problem.

The freeware vs. commercial debate will always be there and it's really
down to personal preference. It's possible that the OP has an OEM
crippled version of Nero that doesn't contain all the features of the
full commercial version (no Smart Start).

I currently own two so-called "crippled" OEM disks for Nero. Nothing
is crippled. The UI is Smart Start.

It has also been stated
numerous times that extraction isn't necessary for an ISO, but rather
simply burning straight to disc is all that is required. There is
obviously some confusion on what to do with this file and is why I
suggested Imgburn. Once installed the image can burned by simply
choosing from the context menu of the ISO itself, selecting burn image
from the EZ picker screen in Imgburn, or choosing write mode in Imgburn.
It doesn't get any easier with no further configuration necessary,
unlike Nero selecting option after option to finally get to a point to
choose your files for burning.

To burn an ISO file in Nero, all that is necessary is
1) Make sure ISO is a registered file type of Nero.
2) From the Deskop, double-click on the ISO in question
3) When Nero opens, simply click on "Burn"
4) Insert a CD or DVD (depending on job type)
5) wait for the CD or DVD to be burnt.
6) Take the finished CD or DVD out of the tray.

How is that harder than your process with IMGBurn, which requires two
or more mouse clicks as opposed to Nero's one mouse click?
Notice all that is necessary with Nero:
1) Double-click on ISO on desktop
2) when Nero opens, click on Burn.

NO need to "select option after option to finally get to a point to
choose your files for burning"....Just double-click on ISO on the
desktop then click on Burn.

Now, how about speaking a little truth to the peanut gallery...
"creating an ISO from scratch" (which you describe doing in Nero in
your last sentence) and "buring an ISO" (the OP's question) are two
entirely different things, and you right-well know it.

Thank you for calling me on that, Tom. I too would have written
"whole-heartedly". Which is the reason folks get confused about the
right word to use. They hear "whole-heartedly", and turn "heartedly"
into "hardily" in their minds somehow. Which was why I commented on
the faux pas of "whole-hardily". Of course, you might know I too
would make the same faux pas through the same confused thinking as
others have. What turn my mind took to bring me to "whole-heartily",
I will never know. I was thinking "heartedly" but my pudgy fingers
typed "heartily", I confess.

Ah, well... I guess I'm not going to be another Solomon to our
generation any time soon. eh? But I will surely keep trying. After
all, he made Judge soon after becoming King. I figure folks have to
wear the crown before they can wear those black robes. We have to
learn the folly of kingship before we can gain the wisdom to be a
judge. We have to fall before we can be raised up. Et cetera, et
cetera, ad nauseum.

Well if u had used nero or roxio and ur burner progrom that would have
worked on ISO files

 

[Gordon]

I don't use nero or others except winrar to extract the .iso file.

Why not?

Well, the problem is that WinRAR working on ISO data disk images, which
contains CD File System inside. If the disk was formatted for UDF file
system, it is not compatible with CDFS, so for compatibility purposes this
disk has a stub, which is in CDFS, and contains a single *.txt only with
explanation of the disk format.
You will need other imaging software, which works with *UDF* specifically,
or some UDF driver software, which can use UDF ISO disk images as well as
physical ones.

What should i do if i have to extract the ISO Vista File into USB flash
drive and make it bootable?

Cry a lot.

You can't boot Vista from a flash drive.

 

[Eric]

Cry a lot.

You can't boot Vista from a flash drive.

I haven't looked at the BIOS yet on my new machine, but I don't imagine
they've added flash drives to the boot options. Normally the options are
the internal hard drive(s), CD/DVD drive(s), and floppy drive if it still
has one. I'm not sure if it'll let you add anything which is connected
externally though it would be nice if it at least recognizes external drives
using the eSata connector.

You can extract an ISO file anywhere. It is just another form of archive.
I'd use 7-Zip.
Normally you don't extract an ISO file, CD burning software takes care of
that for you.
