If I have the corresponding .bin, but no .cue, can anything be done? is there a way to burn the .bin?

Sorry im a bit new at this, any help appreciated :)

.cue files are basically small, text files that provide infomation (filename, etc.) about the much larger .bin file. You might be able to open up another .cue file and modify it so it works with the .bin file you need to work.

I don't have a .cue here at work, but I can help out when I get home later tonight.

Found this from Google:
A typical PC CD-ROM .CUE looks like this:

FILE "image-name.BIN" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00

...where "image-name.BIN" being the name of the image file. Copy and paste the above three lines into Notepad, and change "image-name.bin" to match the exact filename of your .bin file. Save this in the same directory as the .bin using the filename "image-name.cue" (same as the .bin file, except with the .cue extension).

See if that works.
