How to create an ISO image of a CD in Nero 6.6.0.16

How to create an ISO image of a CD in Nero 6.6.0.16. Seems like very few people on the Internets know how to do this so I am officially documenting it here. This way I don't have to spend hours and hours Googling everytime I need to remember how to do this.

  • Insert the original CD into the cdrom drive.

  • Launch Nero 6.6.0.16

  • In the "Applications" section, choose Nero Burning ROM. Cancel the wizard that comes up after that.

  • File > Preferences... | Expert Features | check box the part that says "Enable all supported recorder formats for the Image Recorder"

  • Click OK, then close Nero Burning ROM

  • In the top portion of the main Window, be sure "CD" is selected. Then from "favorites" choose "Copy CD"

  • In the next "Nero Express" window, be sure to change Destination Drive to "Image Recorder"

  • Then click the "More..." button below.

  • Then click the "Save Tracks" button.

  • At the next window, if you are lucky, the "Output File Format:" option will be available for you to select "ISO" from.
