Short answer: Just burn. Microsoft Answer: After checking throroughly through the end-user-license agreement, and after carefully reading through all of the documentation concerning this application, make sure you have all the available patches and upgrades prior to initiating the process of creating an image of the file in question. Should there be legalities concerning copying the software, or infringement of intellectual properties, you can contact the Microsoft Piracy website for further information concerning this issue. If you are able to find that you can indeed create a copy of the software without any legal issues or copyright issues, you are going to either have to use Microsoft Windows XP or Home edition to burn the ISO image - but will need to download and install the patch/powertool necessary for the identification of ISO images directly from the Microsoft Update Centre. Once that has been secured and you've read through the EULA, install the powertool as you would any other software, and then reboot your workstation. If you are not running XP or Home Edition, you will have to secure a program necessary for burning CDR's. Microsoft can recommend several popular programs such as Adaptec EZ CD Writer and Nero Burning ROM. These can be purchased either online or through your local computer supplier. -- Mon, 27 Jan 2003 10:20:00 +1100 10:20am up 9 min, 4 users, load average: 0.65, 0.52, 0.25 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | __ __ | kuhn media australia | | / ,, /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |=================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | | ;"""/ / | | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU | ------------------------------------------------------------------ linux user:267497 * RH 8.0 * PC/Mac/Linux/Networking/Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ `Just the place for a Snark!' the Bellman cried, As he landed his crew with care; Supporting each man on the top of the tide By a finger entwined in his hair. `Just the place for a Snark!
