How to Burn a diskimage on a Mac

How to Burn a disk image

on a Mac creating a copy of

your disk is a great way to

make sure you don’t lose

that precious DVD, video

game, or music CD.

Burning the disk image

(otherwise known as a .iso

file) is great for backing

everything up. However, it

can sometimes be a bit

confusing as to what to do

with this ISO file when you

have it… so here’s how to

get the ISO onto a blank

disk using only a Mac and

no other software. Step 1

When you have the ISO

copy of the disk on your

computer, insert a blank

disk into your disk drive

(Make sure that the disk is

large enough for the ISO,

as some disks can be as

large as 3 or 4 gigabytes.)

Step 2 Open the Disk Utility.

Simply searching for “Disk

Utility” in the Finder will

usually bring it up without a

problem. Step 3 In the ‘File’

menu, choose ‘Open Disk

Image’ and locate your .iso

file. Open it and it will

appear on the left-side

menu. Select it and click the

‘Burn’ button in the top

menu. Step 4 Follow the

simple instructions

presented to you after you

select the burn function and

wait. And that’s it! You’ve

just made an exact copy of

your disk!
