ISO Instructions
An ISO-9660 image file is an exact representation of the original installation media, including the content and the logical format. The most common use of an image file is to write it to a blank DVD Recordable disc resulting in an identical copy of the original DVD including file name and volume label information. ISO Images can also be extracted directly to a file location by many Recordable DVD utilities. For more information about image files, please visit the MSDN FAQ.
