How to Burn an ISO to a CD With Daemon Tools


Install Daemon Tools Lite
1. Navigate to the Disc-Soft website and download the Daemon Tools Lite freeware application. Save the installation file to your computer.
2. Click 'Start' and then 'Computer.' Navigate to the folder where you saved the Daemon Tools Lite installation file.
3. Double-click the file to launch the installer. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Daemon Tools Lite. When prompted to do so by the installer utility, shut down the computer and restart it.
Mount the ISO Image
4. Click 'Start,' 'All Programs,' 'Daemon Tools' and then 'Daemon Tools Lite.' Daemon Tools Lite launches in the background and the program icon is available in the quick launch tray next to the time and date display on the taskbar.
5. Click 'Start' and then 'Computer.' Navigate to the folder that contains an ISO image. Right-click on the ISO image file and click 'Mount image.'
6. Wait while Daemon Tools Lite opens the ISO image file in a virtual CD/DVD drive and assigns a drive letter in Windows Explorer. Close the Daemon Tools pop-up window.
7. Open the optical drive of your computer and insert a blank CD. Close the disc tray and wait for the 'AutoPlay' window to appear. Click the 'Burn Files to Disc Using Windows Explorer' option.
8. Type a volume name for the new CD in the 'Disc Title' box. Click 'With a CD/DVD player' and then the 'Next' button.
9. Locate the virtual CD drive created by Daemon Tools Lite in Window Explorer. Right-click the drive letter for the virtual optical drive and click 'Open in New Window' on the pop-up menu.
10. Browse the contents of the ISO image file inside the virtual drive. Highlight files and folders you want to burn to a CD and press the 'Ctrl' + 'C' keys to copy them to the Windows Clipboard.
11. Return to the original Windows Explorer window. Right-click inside the CD burner folder window and click 'Paste' on the pop-up menu. Windows copies files from the virtual drive to 'Files Ready to be Written to the Disc' folder in Windows Explorer.
12. Click the 'Burn Disc' button just below the Windows Explorer menu bar. Wait while Windows copies the files from the virtual drive to the blank disc. Once Windows finalizes the disc, the new CD ejects from the burner drive.
