Hi i'm trying to burn my first ISO onto a cd and I need a bit of help. I have looked around the forum looking for help and I think I'm the only one not getting this.

I just downloaded Neverwinter Nights.CD3.DEViANCE.ShareReactor and neverwinter nights-CD1.ISO. I have heard that people put the files up as application so it will show up on Kazaa. I have Nero and I have the basic idea of how to burn the image files. Although I have a problem because the computer says the type of file is an application. neverwinter nights-CD1.ISO.exe. How do i change the .exe file to a regular iso file which i can burn, or am i missing something? I tried to burn the application and NERO said "Unexpected file format"

When I open up Nero and look for the file neverwinter nights-CD1.ISO i can't find it as an ISO file. Am i supposed to extract it and burn it as a data file?

I have no idea what to do because the files I have are application files so how do I burn them?

Can anyone give some help of how to burn these files? I have WinRAR and NERO

Thanks

Open the nero wizard, goto\ CD\COMPILE A CD\OTHER CD FORMATS\CREATE AN IMAGE FROM A CD FILE\
then it will ask you to load .ISO .NRG OR .CUE- it's really not rocket science

Go to the folder you have your file, then click on Tools at the top, go down to Folder Options, then click on View tab, scroll down and uncheck the box that says "hide file extensions for known file types", click OK, go back to your iso file, right click, rename, then delete the extension .exe replace with .iso. Now it should show up. B)

Nice one, Dude. I sometimes forget some people actually can't see their file extensions. I think that was about the dumbest option Microsoft ever put into Windows! Why would anyone not want to be able to see what type of file they're dealing with?

Because not people know the significance of file extensions and might delete the *.*, rendering the file useless. And if they are dumb enough to do so in the first place, they will have no idea how to fix it.

well, actually, you could have still burned it in Nero without changing the file type =)

Just make it show all files and select it...works for me

Well, *technically* they didn't have to burn it at all. :lol:

*Substantially* both MagicNakor & DarkEternityNow are both correct

BUT...

You could have just renamed the file and deleted the " .exe " thus rendering it a readable ISO

THEN...

1) burnt using Nero, burn image
2) extracted with WinISO and installed

Hope this helps
