VHBravo Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) So I will not lie, I am a noob at ISO writing to blank CD's. I have an ISO that is about 3.75gigs that I am trying to write to a CD so I may put the CD in my computer and play the ISO on my computer. So I start up the writing mode of IMGBurn, and and select the ISO. See, I don't have a CD that's big enough, so I put in a DVD-R with 4.7GB of space on it. I thought I'd be fine. That's what I'm seeing. I've selected my E: drive (where the DVD-R is inserted). I notice it says Medium Not Yet Present. Can anyone guide a moron like me through this so I can play my ISO from my CD?! Edited June 23, 2008 by VHBravo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 You need a DVD burner to burn a DVD-R Your drive is a CD burner and DVD reader, also known as combo drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmalves Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 You need to buy a DVD burner, so that you can burn your ISO to a DVD-R/DVD+R disc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blutach Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 A CD only holds about 700Mb of data. Your ISO is 5 times the size. It needs a DVD. Go buy a good burner and get some Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden DVD blanks. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
