Recording from image to image

Hello!

Assuming, contents of image are compatible, could one in ImgBurn, in the write dialog, select target device as another image file?

I know, it has its drawbacks:

- when converting from more sophisticated format to simpler one, some information is lost.

- conversion, or re-imaging, as it should be referred is not always possible

The reason I'm bringing this up is my use of little vintage, but still good Windows XP x64. ImgBurn is the one and only optical disk handling piece of software that works without a glitch on this platform - and keeping a dualboot with old XP only to extract one or two files from old backups made with some strange program is sometimes a bit problematic on 24/7/365 machine. So all my hopes for software capable of this are with ImgBurn. In oooold Nero there was something like Virtual Recorder, which was something ingenious. I'm asking for something similar.

For now, I'm sticking with some strange cygwin/mkiso/dawwrite/devswitch combination, but while scripted generally work, explaining this to someone else... oh please.

Did you try it? Obviously not!

 

ImgBurn is a burning tool not a convertion tool.

 

Alternatively you can mount the image in a virtual drive like Virtual Clone Drive or Daemon Tools to drag the content and make an image that way.
