Re: Virtual ISO CDR Drive

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

There are several products out there that will create an ISO file that's
stored on your hard drisk instead of to a CD-ROM (so you can burn it later
if you want or even use it as if it were a CD-ROM drive to extract the
individual files and data. Check out some of the major shareware and
freeware resource locations like www.download.com and www.tucows.com (I like
tucows personally). I use products called Magic ISO and ISO Buster which
not only create the ISO, but also allows me to read an ISO that I didn't
create without first needing to burn it. I don't remember where I got
them - it's been a while (but be assured there ARE programs that will do
what your're looking to do - and you can probably find them either as
freeware or adware or inexpensive shareware).
