thanks...I must be on the wrong one then.. becuase the download is a single
zip file, and inside it is a .rar file and inside it are about 8 other
files. None of which have a .iso suffix. there are 3 downloads there for
floppy, CD and somehthing else. Ill look at the something else, maybe thats
it. the site Im looking at is
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html

Ill take another look and email him too to see if he minds responding.

thanks

If you want to use the bootable CD version of ntpasswd, you only need to
download the appropriate .zip file, which contains only one file, an .iso
image file. You don't copy that to the CD, you use it to make the CD -- any
CD burning software should be able to do that.
