Re: Image Burn

I've used Image Burn for many months & I really like it. Tonight was the 1st. time I've used Image Burn to Create an ISO file. The file was created Successfully (I got the little jingle at the end). BUT, Where is my new .iso file?

This computer only has 1 HD, which has 2 partitions: C:\Program Partition & D:\Data Partition. I've searched both partitions (from the root) & the sucessfully created ISO file Isn't there.

Do any of you have experience with Image Burn? Where does Image Burn store created .iso files?

Where did you tell IMGBurn to store it?
What does a search for .iso reveal?

Also, storing the recovery image on the same drive you are imaging... is probably not a good idea.

I'm not really familiar with IMGBurn, but here's a trick that usually works:

When you created the file, IMGBurn almost certainly asked you where to save the file. You probably missed answering that question (we all make that mistake occasionally). That means it's in the program's default data folder.

Launch IMGBurn again, and start the process of creating another file. Get to the point where you're asked where it should be saved. Note that folder location--that's almost certainly where your file is.

You might also check the program's settings to see if you can change this default.

You can - Tools, Options.


Those are the default locations.

Those are the default locations.

I searched both the C:\Program Partition & D:\Data Partition with no luck. Then I searched both for *.iso & finally found the file. Problem was that Image Burn changed the original name of the DVD to new.iso. So it appears that an ISO file is Not a bit-for-bit copy of the original. Were that so, the name of the image file would not change. Another lesson well learned.

Thanks to all who helped!!!!!

You can simply search for ALL files on the suspect drive and then look at the files by size, if nothing then do by date.

This technique helps me find stuff all the time.
