Guest Steve Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 I downloaded Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP2 (Trial edition) Microsoft's download page says to download and burn the ISO to CD or DVD but the download is a IMG extention, not ISO. I have tried to burn the IMG to DVD but all it does is move the file to the DVD and not extract it like a ZIP or ISO would. I am using Sonic DigitalMedia but can't seem to figure how to extract it. I have looked all over google for an answer and everyone seems to have this problem. I have changed the extention to ISO but that didn't do anything. Here is the link http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/R2/trial/installinstruct.mspx
Guest Harold Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Re: Burning IMG file to DVD simply changing the file extension should do it. you might want to try it again with Explorer set to show known file extensions to make sure you don't have something like: imageName.iso.img Your right, there is not a lot on the net about this, but changing the extension will do it.

Guest Steve Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Re: Burning IMG file to DVD Simply changing the extention to ISO doesn't do it. All it does is move the ISO files to DVD and doesn't extract them. This is all over the internet about people not being able to change the IMG to ISO and burn it or extract it. Anyone at Microsoft listening? The download should be an ISO or ZIP file!

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Re: Burning IMG file to DVD Hello Steve, You can download and install MagicDISC from here: http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm?=mdisc_hlp97 Then mount the .img file with it and you can run/install it directly without burning to disk. Or copy the content to harddisk and burn it then.
