Microsoft software campus EES agreement - Burn an ISO File to a Disc

The information on this page is provided to help you burn a CD or DVD from an ISO image file downloaded from the Microsoft Campus Agreement website. You must have software that supports creating a CD or DVD from an image file. If you try and simply copy the .ISO file onto a CD or DVD, it will not work.

Tips for all programs

  • Window 8 has the ability to natively mount ISO files, so no extra software is required.
  • You cannot use Windows Vista or Windows 7 alone to burn an ISO image. OIT recommends that you use ISO Recorder Power Toy (see below).
  • Always use a new blank disc.
  • Close all other programs while burning to prevent errors.
  • If you are unable to burn an ISO image file using these instructions, please consult the help files provided with your specific burning software.
  • If you do not have the ability to burn a disc, contact the IT Service Center for assistance.
  • After the disc has been burned, double-click on the disc and open the installer.
