How to burn an ISO image using Windows 7
An ISO image is a single file (with the extension ".ISO") containing all of the contents of an installation CD or DVD. Many of the programs available through MSDN Academic Alliance are downloadable in ISO files only, and in order to install them one must burn the ISO image to a blank disc. In the case of operating system installation discs, this method also makes the disc bootable.
Currently, iSchool computers are running Windows 7 with a built-in burn utility capable of burning ISO images.
Once an ISO has been downloaded to your machine from the MSDN-AA download center site, simply follow these steps:
- Insert a blank disc
- Navigate to the location of the ISO file and double-click to open in the Windows Disc Image Burner tool.
- Select the location of the writable disc drive from the drop-down box
- Click burn to begin writing to the disc.
Note: Remember to label the disc after the burning process has completed.
To re-download the file or to access the product serial number at any point in the future (while still a student), just visit the MSDN-AA site linked above and log in using your UW email address and custom password.
