How open image ISO. files - Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1: Windows

its an image of a CD(orDVD)
there are 2 ways to use that file.
1: burn it to a CD (DVD)
2: run special software that allows ISOs to be run without burning it
called virtual clone drive, (free) v 5460. is what i run

1.Double-click the DMG file to mount it.
2.Open Disk Utility, located in the Utilities folder within Applications.
3.Highlight the mounted disk, indented directly beneath the DMG file, in Disk Utility's sidebar.
4.Select "New Image" from the navigation toolbar.
5.Enter a name for the new image, select a place to save it and select "DVD/CD Master" from the Format drop-down menu. Select "OK" to start the process.
6.Open the folder containing the newly converted image file. It will have .cdr for its extension. Double-click the text to bring up the editing field to rename the file. Delete ".cdr" and add ".iso" and press "Enter." A warning will pop up, asking if you would like to keep the extension .cdr or use .iso. Select "Use .iso" and your DMG file is now an ISO file.
Thanks for using Fixya.Have a good day.

wrong file extension. if you made a image of the OS it should have been a .iso this is burnable and easy to open with winrar or a dvd burner program for image burning.
The ISO file type is primarily associated with 'ISO-9660 CD Disc Image'. A literal dump of the data on the CD, byte-for-byte. The data is stored in the ISO-9660 format. IsoBuster can interpret these files directly.



The .wmf file type is primarily associated with 'Windows Metafile' by Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft graphic format. Xara X is a good program to edit this file type if you don't have Microsoft tools. There are several versions of a Metafile; each having a different header structure.

Hello Keaqanvermaa,

'.iso' is an image format. To open an iso file you need to install any one of the softwares called 'magic iso, ultra iso, power iso etc.
After insatlling any one of these software the .iso files icon changes into a recognized iso file format. You can now double click to open to and view whats its contents are, if its a software iso file you have to extract it first to a folder.
Good luck

Try using this software, Image Burn. It works for me every time. I gave up on all others. This program will burn ISO's to ISO's, it will burn ISO's to Boot Disks, it will make files into ISO's, it does it all.

Also, just to clear up the term, when you burn a ISO you are generally trying to make a bootable disk, you are not actually burning the ISO, but expanding and burning the files onto a CD or DVD that you will use to install something on another computer.

download this file unetbootin-windows-471.exe, then you must have an ISO file of your windows xp, you can install ultraiso or any iso maker available on the web, insert your xp cd then make an iso image out of your xp cd... after having iso file for win xp, insert your pen drive (at least you have 1gig free space on your pen drive) then open unetbootin-windows-471.exe, under the disk image, locate your win xp iso file using the select disk image file button,. then just chose Usb Drive , and also on the drive chose the drive of the usb (check it on my computer and check the drive letter of your pen drive) then click ok... once successful transfer of image to the pen drive, restart pc then make your pen drive to be the 1st boot device

you can only open that file and make the icon file visible to your desktop by downloading cd or iso burner through nero, demon or alcohol. because .nrg files is a image extension file generate through software applications cd and iso image burners.

This is an NERO BURNING ROM File
