OK I don?t know where to ask this so its going here. If its moved that?s fine.

Anyway last night I was messing around on my FTP cleaning it up and uploading/dling some stuff. and I happened to notice that there was a file called "Halo.nrg" on there and it was ~520 megs. its a Nero CD Image.

So im thinking WTF is this because I didn?t put it there. so maybe my lil bro did. so i download it not knowing what it is, but suspecting that it might be Halo for the PC. no idea how it would have gotten on my FP though. So this morning when the DL is done i figure ill try and burn it. I figure what the hell I ordered Halo and its coming in 8 days so i can do this if it is the game. But threes a problem

When i go to burn the image file in Nero i get a message saying

"Unfortunately your source CD has a special format which cannot be written. Sorry but copying must be aborted here"

i can burn it to a data CD just fine.

Anyone know a way around this?? Id really like to know what this ISO is and how it got in my FTP

 

He tried copying the protected CD, to do this it first writes it to your hard drive, that's why it's there.
