I needed to make backup copies of some CDs. They are bootable CDs so I couldn’t just copy the contents. Unfortunately, I don’t have those fancy disk burning utilities. Not would I want to use those complex monsters. So what I did is download ISO Recorder.
ISO Recorder is a shell extension for Windows XP, 2003 and Windows Vista, that allows you to burn CD and DVD images (Vista), copy disks, make images of the existing data CDs and DVDs and create ISO disk images from the contents of a folder. It’s a simple, no-frills tool that just works. Best of all, it’s free (for non-commercial use).
