How to Create Bootable Dvd From Iso File Windows 7

This document will cover How to use a bootable ISO image downloaded and methods for rendering an .iso file ready to use.Just like the old boot floppy diskettes, CD or DVD-ROM discs can boot to a DOS or other operating systems. Just copying files to a CD will not work because the CD will need a master boot record and other hidden Startup operating system files. Instead, the preferred method is to create a single file, an image of a bootable CD, called an ISO image. Most CD-ROM burning applications recognize this type of image file. Once the ISO file is burned as an image, then the new CD is a clone of the original and bootable. Besides the bootable OS, the CD will also hold the various software applications like many Seagate utilities that are downloadable in .iso image format.
