hiya gang

Can anyone help me please...
when you get a program that comes with
bin & cue files, and its says to "burn/mount"
is there a program thats needed to do this,
or do you burn them to disk and then install?

I have seen programs like Isobuster... is that
a burning prog? or is it needed to like convert
those 2 files so it can then be burned?

Thanks for any info.

cue files tells the system where the bin file is. IT defines the bin.

The bin )binary) is the program.
USe daemon tools. surf to the cue file and click it, daemon tools sets up a virtual CD rom on your machine and allows you to access the bin just like a cd.

TO burn it (the bin) to a real cd use nero and use the burn image under the recorder menu.
OR use any other image burner you prefer.

A really good program for this is Alcohol 120%
It is really easy to use.

Or you could change the cue/bin to an iso file with a converter and then open it with winrar.

If you need links just pm me.

Alcohol 120% is how I mount images on my pc, you can mount many types of images using Alcohol 120%, including .iso, and .bin/cue...

I use UltraISO for all my CD/DVD Image needs, along with Daemon tools. I find the Alcohol software a tad unintuitive... but that's just me.

Daemon Tools is extremely simple as is UltraISO. You can do just about anything with any image type... and there are a few... with those two software packages.

Daemon Tools is free as well. Can't do better than that.

To mount the best is Daemon Tools
To burn use Nero

for mounting I use PowerISO or Daemon Tools, and for burning PowerISO or wavelab. To extract the contents of an iso-file, I use PowerISO or simply winRAR. I don't like Nero.

I use Daemon Tools for mounting, and Alcohol for ISO/BIN burning, Nero for compilation burning.
