Whether you need to create backups of your CDs and DVDs, store your files in one place, or if you want to use a disc on a new computer that doesn’t have a disc drive, learning how to make an ISO file from a disc is very useful. ISO files are essentially an exact disc image of a CD or DVD in a single file. These ISO files can be used as virtual discs, making them easy to share or allow you to convert them into physical discs as well.
This article will demonstrate how you can make an ISO file from existing files and from discs in 3 easy steps with Express Burn Disc Burning Software.
