How To Extract ISO File Into Computer Hard Disk Drive

I think maybe some of you especially the IT technical may know about ISO file. It is an image file which in fact “the image” of entire CD or DVD. It means all contents in CD or DVD can be represented in a single ISO image and it usually come in a big size.



I believe most people always perform burning process to extract the ISO files and save their contents in CD or DVD. But, I prefer to extract them and save their contents into computer hard disk. It is because I don’t need to spend money to buy a new CD or DVD when every time the version of the ISO file I downloaded from Internet had been updated by manufacturer.
