How to write an ISO to a CD?

[Scary Womanizing Pig Mask]

Title explains my problem pretty well. I downloaded the Red Alert ISO's from EA's website, but am now flummoxed as to how to get them on the CD. I tried ISO Recorder, as a google search suggested, but I couldn't find a version that worked with my copy of XP (media center edition) any tips?

ISO Recorder should work but you could also mount it using daemon tools...

Do what using what?

My problem with it is that none of them work with SP3 or Media Center:

ISO Recorder V1 - for Windows XP Gold (no service pack) and Windows XP SP1

ISORecorder V2 - for Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2003 (including 64-bit OS)

ISO Recorder V3 - for Windows Vista

CreateCD - command-line CD burning tool for Windows XP (all versions), Windows 2003 and Windows Vista

Can't see one for me

Did you try the tutorial?

If it doesn't work, you could always try Daemon Tools which will let you "mount" the CD to a virtual drive: basically it creates a virtual CD drive and runs the image from there, without ever having to burn an actual CD.

If you do want to burn a CD though (for archival purposes or whatever) and the tutorial for ISO Recorder doesn't help, I would suggest trying ImgBurn. That will definitely work for you.

If you need help figuring one of the pieces of software out, you can message me on Steam, I think that'd be much easier than writing a how-to. :

edit: Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Media Center Edition still qualifies as XP, it just has a few fancy features thrown in.

XP MCE is just Windows XP with some extra apps... V2 should be fine... I use ISO Recorder on windows because it's light and just does what it says on the tin... I don't get why windows is the only OS with no ISO burning app included...

powerIso never gave me any problems. It is a pay program though, so you might NOT want to download it cracked.
