complete copy of an optical disc, including CD,
DVD and Blu-ray. ISO image files usually have a

as if it were a physical disc, so that you could
install software from ISO image file with the
absence of physical disc drive. The ISO file can
also be burned back onto another CD, DVD or
Blu-ray disc, creating a copy of the original
disc. - The most common way to get an ISO file is to
download it from a website. However, you could
