Getting Started

This guide will walk you through burning an ISO image to a CD or DVD with the free (and very easy to use) Active@ ISO Burner. You can use this guide to burn just about any CDs, including our Windows recovery discs.

Before you continue, you'll need a blank CD and five minutes to spare.

Download and Install

First some written instructions on how to install Active ISO Burner, followed with images for those that need some visual clarifications:

  1. Download a (free) copy of Active@ ISO Burner here.
  2. Double-click on the .exe file you downloaded and follow the on-screen instructions to continue setup.
  3. When setup is done, open "Active@ ISO Burner" from the Windows start menu and continue with the next steps below, or just check the "Run Active@ ISO Burner" checkbox on the last page of setup to have it start automatically.

4) Burn Away!

At this point, all what's left is to press the large button in the bottom-right corner labeled "BURN" and the software will then convert your ISO image into a bootable CD.
The software will go through the motions and when it lets you know its done, you can eject the disc from the drive and close the software.

Finishing Up

Congratulations, you're all done. That wasn't so hard now, was it?

You have successfully burned a ISO file to disc with Active@ ISO Burner: the disc is now ready for use. If it's our Windows recovery CD, you can boot from this CD and continue with the instructions here.
