iso is bascially an IMAGE of a file.

I know WINRAR lets you look at the contents of such a file.

alternative is to download DAEMON tools applicaiotn which lets you create a virtual drive and you cant MOUNT the ISO image and view it as a drive

<edit> I only replied cos you have a bouncing sheep in your avatar and it turned me on ;)

can't burn it on a CD tho as I have the CD here next to me,
but for some reson it wont work on my CD-drive so I dl'ed it instead
so I could open it from my hd.

ahhh....you prolly just burned the file...go into the file menu under nero > burn image...should give you a working cd

theres also something called isobuster (*edit* oops, just noticed), and if its video you can use vcdgear...but sounds like nero is easiest

/the hippo IS cool...if your not using the little white/ghost guy bouncing around any more...can I have it ?? :touch: :)

You could use Alchohol 120% and mount the image on a virtual CD/DVD (similar to daemon tools, but far better imho)
There's a trial version which works for a month afaik.
