Introduction |
Previously, with Windows XP or Windows Vista for
example, if you had an ISO or IMG file and wanted to burn it to a
CD/DVD, you would need a 3rd party application, such as
Nero, in order to be able to burn this image file to the
CD/DVD. Now, Windows 7 natively
support the ability to burn ISO/IMG images directly within Windows without the need of a
3rd party application. This feature is free and simple to use. In this article, I will be
showing you how easy this feature is to use.

Note : This article was
written when Windows 7 was still in BETA 1, changes
might occur later to the product once it is RTM.
I have an ISO file located on my Windows 7
desktop, and need to burn this ISO file to a
DVD.
- Insert a blank CD/DVD into your CD/DVD drive
- Double Click or Right click on the ISO file and click on Burn disk image

- The Burn Disk Image utility
will open and will give you the option using a
drop down list to select
the CD/DVD drive you want to burn to.
If
you want Windows to verify the disc image after
burning the
CD/DVD, then enable the checkbox beside the
Verify disc after burning. Be
informed that if you enabled this option, its
process requires additional time. So keep it
unchecked if you can not wait.

- Once you click on the Burn
button, burning the ISO image to the CD/DVD will
start. The progress bar will show you the
process of the operation.
Note :
Personally, I would like this to have a
timer as well, showing in minutes and seconds
how long the operation still needs till it
finishes. Maybe also adding the option to
control the burning speed. Do not forget that
Windows 7 is still in Beta 1, and the utility
might be enhanced later once the product is RTM.
- When burning process finishes, the
Status turns from Burning disc
image to recordable disc... to
The Disc image has been successfully burned to
disc. and the DC/DVD disc will
automatically be ejected from the drive. Click on
Close button

That's it !!!! Your disc is ready to be used.
Summary
Windows 7 has lots of new features, one of them
is the Burn Disk Image feature. Using
it, you can burn ISO/IMG files without the need of any
3rd party application.
