Nero: Do I Check "create Image" Before Burning A

[Roosh]

I understand burning .iso's w/ nero, but am new to .bin/.cue files.
I'm about to burn Microsoft_Windows_XP_Corp_SP1_Integrated to disk and just need to know whether to select this option or not. What does it mean?

Thanks.

if the default is checked, i suggest you dont mess with it and leave it checked...
probably makes it work better or something.

It is not checked by default.

When unchecked, you are given the option to "test", "test & burn" or "burn", and have a write-speed drop down menu with default 4x (600 KB/s), 8x (1,200 KB/s) and 2x (300 KB/s).

>When checked, all of that disappears except the "burn" option.

I've already wasted 2 cd-r's experimenting :angry: -- I'd like to get it right this time...

The cue sheet will tell Nero how big the Block Size is and what Data Mode it should use. Without it you might aswell be making coasters! :o

[tralalala]

leave it unchecked and make the burning speed at the highest.
then, i suggest of a test&burn cos that way if it wont work, it will tell you and you wont have wasted a disc.

I opened the correctly written cue sheet with nero, everything's raring to go -- I just need to know whether to check the "create image" box or not...

And if anyone know, please describe what enabling it does that so I get the sense I can take your word for it ;)

[tralalala]

nope do not check it and make sure you do a test&burn process, cos it will first test and see that everything will work, and then it will burn.

[Roosh]

ok -- what write speed do you recommend? 2x, 4x or 8x?

[tralalala]

it doesnt make a difference at all.
use the fastest one.
my friend told me that the slower you do it, the higher the quality=bullshit... :lol:
do it at x8 (which also seems slow for me cos i can do it at x52 ;) ...).

[Roosh]

Braggart <_< (How so fast, anyway?)

Ok, many thanks, guys. :)

[tralalala]

hang on dont u want to create an image? bin files r pure images right.
which means u can burn the image to disk so that when u put it in the drive it exe. automatically.

[fusion explorer]

tell me to shut up if im wrong :(

[Roosh]

Well, someone please confirm that quickly, because I&#39;m still in the testing process.

Lamsey made a point of making explicit instructions for .bin burning his release thread for this file, and it didn&#39;t touch upon this detail...

Oy&#33; -- that&#39;s the third write error/simulation failure in a row. You may have a point there, fusion explorer. I think I&#39;m supposed to create the image from the bin & cue, and then burn the image (.nrg). Why so complicated?

We&#39;ll see...

[tralalala]

shut up&#33; :lol:
if at the end of the test process nothing happens, then its fine and nothings wrong.
if something IS wrong... then... ahem... i can exactly help you... :huh:

tralalala

[Roosh]

Actually, talk all you want, fusion explorer -- that did the trick.
Thanks to all. :D

[fusion explorer]

wow i actually helped someone :D

i think u would hav checked the box sooner or later

peace

ISO image is exactly as it sounds, it is an image of the files on the CD, basically what it means is that you can share the ISO image. Then other users can downloasd the image and burn their own CD.

If you just want to copy the cd uncheck it or it will not burn to the blank CD, you8 will just get the image wherever your default save goes (or choose to save it)

hope this helps.
