Answer 1

its a disk image. when you mount it, its the same as putting a cd rom in the drive or connecting a hard drive to the computer.

it allows you to keep infomation in exactly the same place it was on the original disk and burn a new disk that is identical to the original

Answer 2

An ISO image file is an image of a CD-ROM disk saved in ISO 9660 format. ISO image files are widely used to store CD content and transfer it through the Internet. ISO is a common CD image format for DOS, Windows (Joliet ISO extension), Linux (RockRidge ISO extension) and other operating systems.

ISO images are generally duplicates of CDs rather than floppies or hard drives. Most popular CD recording programs can burn ISO images onto recordable CDs. Some of these programs even use ISO as their native disk image format.

Answer 3

An .iso is an image created that allows you to download a single file and then use it to create a CD that contains many files.

One example of this is that in Linux (a computer operating system), you can download the entire OS installer that contains hundreds/thousands of files, and only have to deal with one image. When you burn the image to a CD, you then get the hundreds/thousands of files on the disk.

Answer 4

ISO is a CD image. Think of it as allowing you to create an exact copy of a CD without needing the original disc. - Most good CD burning software will open them...

ISO is the most common image format...
