How to Burn an Image to CD
Collecting family pictures on a computer
can be a hassle. Not to mention, those colorful images we find on the internet
and save through countless folders; can slow down the CPU on your computer. If
you do not want to delete images or simply want to have a backup, then burning
those images into a CD is a preferred way to store them away from your pc, and
free up quite a bit of memory on your drive.
Download Power Iso
PowerISO is an excellent CD / DVD / BD image file processing tool, which allows you to open, extract, burn, create, edit, compress, encrypt, split and convert ISO files, and mount ISO files with internal virtual drive. Click on download, then open the file and click next, then install. To download power ISO go here: Power Iso
Run Power ISO
Run Power ISO, and click the "Open"
button on toolbar or choose "File” then “Open" menu to gain access to
an existing iso file. Double clicking
the file will also open it. Do not click delete though, if you do, go to the
“Recycled bin” to recover the icon.
Insert blank disk
Once Power Iso is running, make sure to have
mounted up a blank CD on your drive. You
can use DVD or CDR for the task. For movies, however, only use DVD‘s since CDR
does not support burning movies.
Burning drive
Choose the burning drive, which holds the
disc that you want to burn. Choose the drive by clicking the arrow in the drop
down box section after clicking “burn”.
The speed
Next, choose the burning
speed. The program installs a default burning speed at the maximum supported by
the drive and the media.
Verify written data
Check the option
"Verify written data" to verify the data after burning.
Start burning!
Click "Burn" button to start burning iso file.
Wait for the burn
It should take just a few minutes to burn,
depending on how big the file is. Do not turn off your computer in the
meantime. Doing so, you will have to restart the burn.
Burning done
Once the
images are burned into the CD, the drive should “auto-eject” the disk
automatically.
Check CD for errors
Re-insert the CD back in, to check if the burn
was a success. On some occasions, CD’s can have some errors, depending on the
manufacturer or the windows operating system. It is always best to check just
in case, before you delete those files from your computer. So, make sure you
have made backups successfully.
Wrapup
There are many other options available to
store up images; from usb’s, freeware’s or you can try other options, create a “Photobucket”
or a social blog to store up images. Beware though, if you do not want your
pictures and images on the internet and desire to keep your anonymity, then
burning them into a CD is the best option available for you, your friends and
your family; since sites such as “photobucket” tends to have hackers lurking
around.
tip
“When you are finished
burning files into your CD’s, make sure you label them to keep them organized.”
