How to Burn an ISO CD

How to Burn an ISO CD thumbnail
ISO files need have to be mounted or burned to use.

ISO files are images of actual discs compressed into a single file. They are only usable if you return them to a disc or make your computer believe the ISO file is a disc. This is a process called mounting. Mounting a ISO file sometimes is not efficient, so you may have to burn them anyway.
