Hello! In this lesson, I will teach you to create disk images in ISO format. This feature can be useful in cases where any game or program does not start without a DVD or CD drive inserted into the drive.

I will also show how you can create an ISO disk image from various files that are simply lying on the computer. We can practice music, movies, programs and many other things.

Creating an image from various files
(films, music, programs, etc.)

Now I showed how create an image of iso From the real CD, which is inserted into an optical drive. But besides this, the Ultraiso program can pack in the disk image absolutely any files. It is done very simple.

The Ultraiso utility features allow you to record new information on CD / DVD and edit ISO files. You can also create bootable (and multi-load) discs and individual images for subsequent recording, convert from one format to another and compress ISO to ISZ.

The main screen is divided into 4 windows. The top two - display what is inside the selected disk, and the bottom - are designed to search and add files in the tree of the catalog. Copying and transfer occurs through a simple file transfer from one screen area to another (DRAG-N-DROP). When working with ready-made images, the utility will reserve an additional hard disk space (in the temporary storage folder TEMP).

The name of the program is associated with the international standard ISO 9660. It combines both ordinary CDs and DVD, and also ensures their compatibility with popular operating systems. But, of course, the case is not limited to one standard. There is support for the UDF file system, which is more oriented with DVD. Additionally, you can connect in the Rockridge extension settings (for storing attributes), Joliet (to withdraw restrictions on file names) and HFS (for compatibility with Mac OS). In addition to ISO, various formats of images are supported, including popular BIN, CUE and MDF.

An understandable interface, low weight and wide program functionality are 3 things that highlight it against similar tools. If it were not for the overestimated price and restrictions of the Shareware version, then Ultraiso could easily be in popularity, or.

Key features and functions

The most common problem, due to which users cannot open this file, is an incorrectly assigned program. To fix it in Windows, you need to right-click on the file, in the context menu, bring the mouse to "Open Using" item, and select the Select Program item drop-down menu. As a result, you will see a list of installed programs on your computer, and you can choose a suitable one. We also recommend checking the box opposite the item "Use this application for all ISO files".

Another problem with which our users also occur quite often - the ISO file is damaged. Such a situation may arise in cases of cases. For example: the file was downloaded not fully as a result of server error, the file was damaged initially, etc. To eliminate this problem, use one of the recommendations:

• Try finding the desired file in another source on the Internet. You may be lucky to find a more suitable version. Google search example: "File FileType: ISO". Just replace the word "file" to the name you need;
• Ask you to send you the source file again, it may have been damaged during transmission;
