Burning IMG file to DVD

[Guest Steve]

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.

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.

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!

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.

 

Best regards
