Not generic images, but specificly .iso, because Nero dosen't like them. I need it to get myself Mandrake because I'm sick and tierd of Windows.
Thanks!

Fireburner. Not sure of the address but you can just search for it. If you can't find I'll send it to you.

Very simple program.

Oh yeah I was trying to burn Linux Mandrake with Nero too and after one coaster I decided to try something else.

edit: Read your other post about ISO 9660. Not really sure what that means but I just selected the file in Fireburner and clicked burn. :)

I replied to the other post also. I've done this with EZCD 4 bunches of times. What he needs is ISO 9660 and Long file name support. Here is some info from the EZCD 4 help:

File System:

ISO9660: Select this option if you want to be able to read the CD on different platforms including DOS, Macintosh, OS/2, Windows and UNIX. Files and directories recorded to CD based on the ISO 9660 standard must meet the following (8+3) requirements:

A file name may not contain more than eight alphanumeric characters and the underscore symbol [_].

A file name extension may not contain more than three alphanumeric characters.

A directory name may not contain more than eight alphanumeric characters and the underscore symbol [_].

Joliet: Select this option if you want to use file names that contain up to 64 characters in length, including spaces. This is the default option and is used to record most CDs. Joliet also records the associated DOS-standard name (8+3 characters) for each file so that the CD may be read on DOS systems or earlier versions of Windows.

Long file names (30 chars max.): Select this option to specify the use of long file-naming for your CD. This option applies to the ISO 9660 File System only.

hey DRGrim, what version of Nero did you have? I've burned many ISO's with my version. I'm sorry to hear that yours didn't turn out (waste of a CDR, I hate it when that happens).

That would be 5.0.3.8 - Its not that it wouldn't open CD images, just that file extention.

Here's a link to FireBurner. Only about a 600k download too. Simple to use, and, although its not free, it'll do what you want to do right now.

I'm using the same version of Nero too. I know Nero does burn .iso's just I didn't want to figure it out after I had waste a cd. I can't remember exactly waht I did but I selected ISO to burn, dragged file over, and started to burn. I thought it was going to unpack the iso and burn it but instead it just COPIED the iso over like I wanted to back it up.
