ISO Image Disappears after Burning

[Licenciado]

After I unRAR'ed a file and now have the file with an .iso extension,
I burned it with NERO Burning ROM software, and Nero reports that the
burn was a success. But when I viewed the disc in Explorer, the files
are not showing up on the DVD, I tried the same thing with ImageBurn
and again the same thing happened. It reports that the burn was
successful but the DVD remained blank. Of course the DVD cannot be re-
used even though it appears to be blank. Finally, I used ISOMagic and
this software reported that the .iso file I was trying to burn was not
an image file. Its the same file that both NERO and IMGBurn reported
to have successfully burned but nowhere to be found on the disc.

Any help would be appreciated. I am running Vista Home Premium 32-bit
Edition. Thanks!

Did you get any errors with the unRARing process?

If the download came with .par2 files, did you run a check with, eg,
QuickPar (http://www.quickpar.org.uk/)?

Try mounting the .iso image with the excellent freebie Daemon Tools and see
if you can see the files in the virtual drive. If yes, try copying them off,
maybe burning from new location.

If still problems, try a more relevant forum - your problem (on a Vista
system!) is nothing whatsoever to do with XP (see this newsgroup's title).
