ISO files must be burned to a disk in order to “extract” the data from them as opposed to a zip file that can be opened and extracted to any directory you wish. In other words, you cannot simply download an iso file extract the data to a folder and burn it to a disk. All you will accomplish by doing this is making a data copy of the ISO file onto a disk. K3b has the ability to burn the ISO image to a disk and make it bootable. We are going to do so now and you may be surprised at how easy it is.

ISO stands for International Standards Organization. About the only thing this little bit of trivia may do for you is...well, nothing actually since hardly anyone knows or cares it in the first place. "What is an iso?" will be the more important question. An .iso file is a compressed disk image. Almost every Linux distribution available on the Internet is packaged and downloaded as an .iso file. You are familiar with the file extensions .zip and possibly .rar?...well .iso files are similar in that they are compressed, however you can not use them like you use zip and rar files.

Alternative: Burning the iso to disk under Windows using Nero
Bring K3b up and look to the top of the program. Image burning is not an option along with audio and data file burning. You must go to “tools” then choose “CD” and then choose “burn CD Image”. Once you click “burn CD Image”, your dialog box will open with many of the same options you are now familiar with, but with a few exceptions. I have created a screenshot for you so that you can see what the initial stage of burning an iso image looks like. Take a look at the screenshot “firstisoburn and we will go over a few things you need to see.
The first item you need to pay attention to is the field at the very top titled “image to burn.” If this is the first time you have used the iso burn feature, the field should be blank. Click on the small folder to the right of the blank field and it will open your file manager. Navigate through the folders until you find the iso you want to burn. The screenshot openisofolder will show you what it looks like.
*One of those little things that's good to know*
Once you have used the burn iso feature in K3b, the “image to burn” field will hold the last iso file you burned. When you start a new iso project, you may get a red error message under the field saying “file not found”. Don't panic. That will go away when you put the new iso file into the “image to burn” field.
*and another thing*
As you navigate to find your iso file, you may be wondering, “what the heck, I KNOW I downloaded that file to this folder...where is it?” Don't worry, it's there. Look at the bottom of your file manager and at the very bottom there is a field with “filter” to the left of it. Drop the arrow down and choose “iso9660 image files. Then try again and your iso's will show up nicely.
The next field to the right of “image to burn” is “image type” it should be set at “auto detection”. Leave it just like that and you will have no problems. At the middle of the dialog box, our old buddies “options” and “advanced” are back to keep us company. The options tab is self-explanatory and shows you things you should now be comfortable with.
The advanced tab only has two functions within its parameters. If you click the advanced tab, you will see a dropdown menu named “data mode”. It is best to leave this set on auto. If you drop the menu, you will see three choices: Auto, Mode 1 and Mode 2.
These modes deal with the way data is written to the disk and the “Auto” mode will read the data and choose the correct one. There are very few circumstances where you would want to change the mode to anything but Auto.
The second option you have under the advanced tab is “start multi-session cd.” Now this one can be important to you from time to time. When K3b begins to write data, it knows from your data choices when to “close” the disk. A closed disk means that no more data can be written to it and when K3b finishes the task, you cannot write anymore to the disk. If you choose to x the box “multi session cd”, that means you can let a task finish, then come back and add another file to it to be burned.
You will notice that when you chose an iso file to be burned, there was some activity from a progress bar in the large white field. What you saw happening was K3b calculating the “checksum” data. When someone creates an iso file from data, a checksum algorithm begins and assigns a number to the file. Sometimes when we download data from the Internet, the files can become corrupted for one reason or another. The MD5 sum or checksum is calculated and assigned to a particular iso file so when you burn it, K3b will calculate the checksum as well and you can compare the two sums. If there is a single digit difference between the checksum you got with your iso download and the one K3b calculates, it means you have a corrupted iso file and it is no good.
Usually, re-downloading the file will fix the problem. If you receive conflicting checksums on the second attempt, then find another source to download the file because it is probably corrupt. MD5 checksums are usually available for download as a separate file in the download directory where your iso file is located. They are small and only take seconds to download.
