PowerISO

Create disc images with PowerISO.

This is a program that allows you to burn images and information to various types of discs. You can use the program to burn to CDs as well as DVDs. The system is one of the easiest to use when it comes to getting information onto a disc so that it's stored. There aren't a lot of tools associated with the program, and the system requirements are pretty low, making it easy to work on some of the older systems. One of the things to keep in mind is that the layout isn't one that has a modern look. It really has a look of one of the older interfaces that can sometimes be difficult to understand unless you know what to look for on the program.

Buttons for the tools that are available are located across the top of the screen, compared with being on the side as with some of the other programs that offer the same services. Three different files can be used when burning onto discs. These include the ISO, DAA and BIN. This gives you a few more options when it comes to the type of information that you want to burn as most games and audio files feature different information and take up different amounts of space on a disc.

This isn't a program that should be used for backup recovery. It's simply a program to get information onto a disc so that it can be saved. However, if you don't know how to get the information onto the disc and make sure that it's there, then you could lose your information before it's saved.
