But more or less an ISO files tells the burning software what files to put where. Like a set of instructions.
I suppose another analogy is need to clarify my point.

If you have ever gotten legos or a model building kit, think of it like that.

The model comes with all the parts (files) and instructions on how to put them together. You need someone who can read the instructions and follow them to correctly build the model. (the burning software) Just burning the iso file itself is like displaying the box the model came in. Something is there, but not what is suppose to be there.


There are alot of free software that can burn an iso files the way it needs to burned. I like deepburner.
