vcant Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 see download link above,as for iso creation just follow the rules for usual cd creation, then (and this is for Nero) choose Image Recorder as you CD-R (Recorder->Choose Recorder), click Burn, and it will ask you where to store the file.probably similar for other cd-burning software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcant Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 do you see it as .txt?or you dont see the extension at all?in first case, just rename the file,in second go to 'Windows Explorer -> Tools -> View' and uncheck 'Hide extensions for known file types'now rename the file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
