This guide will walk you through burning an ISO image to a CD or DVD with the free (and excellent) ImgBurn. You can use this guide to burn just about any CDs, including our Windows recovery discs<\/a> (or download Easy Recovery Essentials directly from here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Can’t get the burned CD to boot?<\/strong>
\nIf you’re having trouble getting this CD to boot after burning it according to the instructions on this page, check out our guides on setting up your PC to boot from the CD\/DVD correctly<\/a> and troubleshooting problems booting from CD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Getting Started<\/h2>\n

Before you continue, you’ll need a blank CD and five minutes to spare.<\/p>\n

Download and Install<\/h2>\n

Simply click on this link to download and run ImgBurn: \tImgBurn.exe<\/a>
\n<\/p>\n

Burning an ISO Image<\/h2>\n

Now to get started burning your ISO file. Open up ImgBurn and the first thing you see is a nice splash screen as the program loads.<\/p>\n

You’ll see a nice selection menu from where you choose which operation you wish to do with ImgBurn. Select the top left option, “Write image file to disc” as shown below:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From here you get the main selection menu as shown below:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now this is the main window for ImgBurn, and despite all the text and controls, it’s fairly easy to use. From here you select the file you wish to burn with clicking on the browse folder icon. This will bring up the file browser in which you use to lead the application to the ISO file you wish to burn:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now after selecting the file, the window will update to display your selection.<\/p>\n

Here you will select the burn speed and if you wish to have the disc get verified, which you should select. Verification will double-check that what’s written to disc is identical to the ISO file you have, in order to prevent issues caused by bad CDs, glitches in the burn process, and more. If the verification fails, burn it again with a lower speed setting.<\/p>\n

To begin burning the image to the CD, click the large button\/image at the bottom-left (the illustration of a file being transferred to a CD).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After it burns you will see a confirmation dialog like the one below. At this point, you can close the application and continue.<\/p>\n
