  Most CD writers come with "Easy CD Creator" or "Nero"; both programs can write CDs from ISO images (an ISO image is a bit-for-bit copy of the content of a CD-ROM). It's also possible to use any standard writing software, such as "cdrecord".


Thanks for your interest in GNUWin; now you can write CDs, we hope you will take the opportunity of sharing GNUWin with your friends, your family and your colleagues !

Nero

Launch Nero and in the "File" menu, select "Burn image". The "Open" window shows up. The "File of type" field of the window is set at "*.nrg" by default. Click on the drop down box and select "All Files". The *.iso files will appear; select "gnuwin.iso". A dialog box will appear; you can safely leave the default settings and press "OK". Then, use the same procedure for any more CDs you want to make.

In short:
  • "File" -> "Burn image"
  • "All files"
  • select "gnuwin.iso"
  • "OK"
  • "Burn"

Easy CD Creator

Launch Easy CD Creator and in the "File" menu, select "Create CD from Disc Image". The "Open" window shows up. The "File of type" field of the window is set at "*.cif" by default. Click on the drop down box and select "*.iso". The *.iso files will appear; select "gnuwin.iso". Then, do exactly as for any other CD.

In short:
  • "File" -> "Create CD from Disc Image"
  • "*.iso"
  • select "gnuwin.iso"
  • "OK"

cdrecord

It is also possible to use " cdrecord", a free software that can be obtained on the GNUWin site
http://gnuwin.epfl.ch/apps/cdrecord/en/index.html
Follow the installation procedure (copy all *.exe into the binary directory in "Windows"); invoke a shell (press "Start", "Execute command" and type "cmd.exe"; a DOS shell should Open); in the shell, type "cdrecord -scanbus"; you'll see something similar to

Thus, for instance, if you want to use the Yamaha drive, you'll need to type "cdrecord dev=1,5,0 " (these numbers will not change from one session to another, they depend on the configuration of your drive inside your computer).

Eventually, you can write your ISO with
cdrecord dev=1,5,0 -v speed=4 gnuwin.iso


We also recommend the following site with more instructions on how to use cdrecord.
