Burn Images from MSDN Subscriber Downloads
-
Hi! Recently Microsoft has placed in the MSDN subscriber section also CD-ROM Images of some operating systems (WIN2K in all versions). This is really very useful since many MSDN subscribers that get the DVD version have no bootable CDs of the operating systems. Yeasterday I downloaded such an image but there were no readme file explaining how to deal with it. So I tested using the image with "NERO Burning ROM" (a very good CD mastering program) but I had no luck. Do anyone out here know for which program the images were created (the file extension is .CDR) or at least what parameters have to be set in order to create successfully a CD ? Many thanks for your help!

EZ CD Creator uses .CDR files but as far as I know you have to create the new image on a blank CD and then use that.

The .cdr file is just the raw ISO of the CD image. Nero can burn them, but I'd use Fireburner. Cheers, Peter Pearson

Hi All, thank you very much for your suggestions. Finally I was able to burn successfully a working copy of one of the downloaded images. For all of you interested in doing the same: You need Adaptec's Easy CD Creator in order to burn the downloaded images. Probably it would also work with other problems, but I was neither successful with Nero, nor with CDR-Win. Reagrds
