CDBurnerXP supports ISO making?? That’s good to know. I like keeping game installs in ISO format after I’ve played them. Prevents virus attacks, good for “ahem” inserting game CDs/DVDs when asked :stuck_out_tongue: and best of all, reduces file search times and prevents volume fragmentation.

I use UltraISO but I want an application that would support all formats like mdf,mds,nrg,daa etc.

@ Sydras …

Use the latest Daemon Tools Pro … It reads and burns all image files that I know of … hope that helps

Thanks…I’ll check it out.
