I just downloaded corel linux and its in the form of an iso image. When I went to put it on a cd, I tried clone cd but its not compatible and then I tried easy cd creator 5. I was wondering if anyone knows a good program to burn the iso image onto a cd so that I can install linux onto my computer.

I know there are alot of good computer literate ppl out there and I look forward to your answers.

I use either adaptec or nero to do my cd burning. Right now these are the simplest prgograms to use. If you have Roxio 5 (adaptec)
follow these steps:
--> Make a data cd
--> data cd project
--> This will load the window to drop and drag data files
--> Click on the file menu
--> Choose Open CD Project
--> Browse to the directory in which you downloaded the file
--> Click on the file of type: dropdown and chose all files (*.*)
--> double click on the iso image file
--> it will exit you and bring up the cd burning options.

Hope this helps

ok i know easy cd creator 4 lets you do this, but i dont know about 5, but try this:

there should be a little thing in your system tray, that looks like a cd, and a cd-rom. double click it, then format the disk, then you should beable to drag and drop it using windows explorer.

I can put it on the cd but it stays as a iso image and doesnt convert, I was looking for a program that will convert it from an iso to the program..

I dont have Easy CD 5.0 but I do have 4.0. Open up the Data CD Creator and go to File->Create cd from Image. Then in file type select *.iso and browse for your image. You should be all set. That option may or may not be in 5.0 but it is in 4.0.

I just checked and it is, thanks man, I didnt even know that the program had that feature, 5 has a totally different interface and I dont use half the stuff that came with the copy I got.
