yo its a burned image file. open nero and choose burn disc image under copy and backup. you should also have a .cue file as well. good luck. pm me if that doesnt work and ill set you straight. ez.

You don't have .cue-files with .isos.

Easiest way is to mount it with alcohol or daemon tools.

.bin files and .iso files are broadly the same thing.

Download Alcohol 120% mate

an ISO is like a CD or DVD, an exact copy of it into one file ... the ISO..

Use Alcohol 120% to load the ISO and Alcohol makes a virtual DVD/CD drive which the image mounts.

Mimicking as if u stuck a Cd in the drive

hope that helps

Install Daemon Tools. You can then mount the iso file as a virtual CD (or DVD) drive on your system.
