Roxio Creator DE. Ver: 9.0.116

[anon_private]

Hi,

 

Is it possible to view an iso file using Roxio creator DE, ver. 9.0.116?

 

Is it possible to create an iso file using this software?

 

Thanks

To know if your .ISO file was burned properly, when you look at the disc in Windows Explorer, do you see a single .ISO file listed, or are there multiple files/folders? If all you see is the single .ISO file then you indeed "saved" the file to disc, but not into a particularly useable form.

 

I'm not familiar with the Dell edition you have, but if Creator Classic is an option (maybe listed as Data Disc, Advanced) then open that, select File -> Create Disc from Image and see if that is available. If so, then you can select your .ISO file as the source image file and create a new disc from it that should be usable.

 

Hope that helps!

 

 

Thanks for responding.

 

The iso file on the disk is seen in Widows Explorer as a single file. When I open it in 7-Zip I see the directories and files.

 

This iso file is a pc rescue disk.

 

I will try and boot from the disk and see if it works.

 

Best wishes.

PS. On further investigation, I now believe that my version of Roxio does burn iso files.

 

Editing.

 

I have now tried to boot from the disk, and all I get is the message ' Selected Boot Device Not Available'.

 

So it seems that I have copied the file, but not burned it.

 

I will now have a look at Roxio. I may need to make a new disk even though I have plenty of space on the CD-R. I wonder if I can burn again to the CD-R, the delete the original file after the burn?

 

I'll try all this tomorrow, must sleep.

 

Best wishes.

PS. I am learning (all be it the hard way).

Sounds like you just saved the ISO file. Is it a video file (which is what I was thinking) or a data file? Do you want to run it or play it? If it is a video file, again you can use VLC but it will not play on a DVD player since, at this point, is a bunch of data.

 

The devil is in the details (and so are good answers).

 

Hi,

 

Thanks for responding.

 

The iso file is actually a CD Rescue Disk.

[gi7omy]

You will have to use a fresh disc to do it - a bootable CD requires a segment to be written to the boot sector

 

They're only a few pence anyway (not like the earlier ones)

Okay, so, you did indeed write the .ISO file, as a single ISO file to the disc. Now you need to write a disc "from" the image file. Again, you'll have to find the option in your version of EMC9 that says, "Create disc from Image file." You never said if you have Creator Classic as part of your version. If you do, then start that, go to File and see if there's an option there to "Create disc from Image". If so, you'll use the .ISO file as the source (you may want to copy it to the hard drive on your PC first) and let it write that.

 

If "7-Zip" can open the .ISO file, that's a good sign that the .ISO file is intact.

 

Hope that helps.

Ok, it looks like a need a new CD-R disk.

 

I don't think my version has Creator Classic, but

 

Under: File - New Project - Copy - Burn an Image.

 

So it looks promising.

 

I also have 'Burn an Image' on the Home Page of the Roxio package.

 

I think I may need to copy the is file to the hard drive as you mention.

 

As a matter of interest, what is the difference between a copy of a file and burning the file.

 

I'll get there eventually.

 

Best wishes.

Analogies are ususually not very good. It is a little like looking at a picture of a computer on a computer box VS opening the box and plugging it in so you can use the computer to post on this forum.

 

That is why I started to use the term "author" to distinguish that from the term burn. That is the term used in Wikipedia.

One analogy that may be helpful to you is to think of the .ISO image as similar to a ZIP file, only without the compression. A .ZIP file is a single file that (usually) contains many files inside it. Well, a .ISO image file is a single file that contains the entire contents of a CD or DVD. Of course, there are many technical differences, but that sort of explains the idea. You can't do much with a .ZIP file until you expand it out into it's separate files, and the same with the .ISO file, it must be properly authored back to a disc to be useful.

 

And yes, you need to use a new disc, and since you found the option to "Burn an image" then you should be all set.

 

Let us know how you make out.

Thank you,

 

I will

Whose, mine or Dave's? Dave's is better

 

Perhaps a basic computer class at a loccal library, or extension facility might be in order.

That is a long way form your first post ! What do you want to do with it? I doubt if you can view the ISO file on the disc. How did you make it?

 

Since you have the DE OEM< you do not have Back on Track or BackUp my PC. How did you make the ISO file?

[anon_private]

My posts have been consistent.

 

As I said, I am not sure how the file was made. I saved it under Vista, and Roxio DE is on my machine.

 

Possible explanations sought.

Roxio Easy Media Creator 9 is not the same as the cut-down OEM Roxio Creator DE 9.

 

Dell sponsors a discussion Forum for people who have Dell computers to help others - much like the Roxio Forum. That might be your best source for help with their OEM [Original Equipment Mfgr] Version.

I still think that we are getting half a story. It is difficult to respond properly if you parcel out the information piece by piece. You could have simply asked how to burn and use a CD Rescue disc in your first post. It could have been in the general section of the forum and not in any particular version.

 

If you burned the ISO file to a disc using the instructions, then it is a bootable disc. You will have to set Windows to boot from a CD/DVD first, then reboot with the disc in the drive. The program on the disc should run. I did have problems running a memory tester ISO file with Vista but I finally got that straightened out. I had just copied the ISO file to the disc rather than burning the ISO file. It doesn't work that way.

 

In your DE version, do you have an application that will allow you to burn the ISO file to a disc? If so, use that. If not, try this.. Some people who use this forum prefer this to other methods. No need to go to Dell for this type of information.

As I said,

 

My version of Roxio does not appear to support the burning of iso files. yet one was burned. I was wondering if Vista has its own burner installed. I just saved the iso file from a website to a CD-R and it burned.

It may have copied but it probably won't run. Have you tried it? You simply have a copy of what you downloaded.; it is not bootable.

 

An ISO file is an image of a disc. To run it , it has to be burned (authored) just as a video would have to be burned to a disc in the proper format in order for it to play in a DVD player. Use the software I linked to above to author the ISO file to the disc. Read more about ISO files here.

 

Yes, Vista does has a file copy application.

 

You came here for an answer to two questions and you got them; now the questions have been expanded and you have now told us what you want to do. That has been answered. And an attempt to do some education has been made. It now seems that you are not satisfied with the answers/suggestions. Please do a little more research on authoring a ISO file disc, do some studying on your own about computers or just accept what has been suggested. Do you now want someone else's opinion - other than Lynn'?

1) Use the free VLC player to watch the ISO file.

2) When you go to burn your project, is that one of the options in the burn dialog box.

 

You have an OLD OEM version of the software an not many people here know what the capabilities are.

[Brendon]

This is what the Burn Project dialog box that Steve mentioned should look like. This one is from 9.0.554.

 

If your OEM version has this box when you hit 'Burn', you should uncheck the top checkbox, and check the 'Save disc image file' one.

My burn menu has no options. I think that its a DELL edition.

I don't recognise this dialog box.

 

I did burn an iso file to a CD-R.

 

I found an iso file on a website, on clicking on the file I was given the option to save.

 

I directed the file to drive E (CD-ROM) containing the blank CD-R.

 

The file burned successfully. I noticed that it labelled with the Roxio icon.

 

I am not quite sure how the burning process occured. I don't think that Vista Home Premium, 32 bit, my OS has a burning utility.

 

Any comments welcome.

 

Best wishes.
