What you will want to do is find a burning application that processes .ISO files and burn the cd using that application. I use PowerISO. It's simple to use and offers mounting support like daemon tools. But basically you open the ISO using Poweriso and then click burn.

I copy the files to a cd, but computers don't see them. If I go into windows explorer, it see's the files on the disc. But I try to reboot from the cd, it goes to the login window. I have checked the bios to make sure it was set correctly but to no avail. Thanks in advance for any help. Is there any support here? I copy the files to a cd, but computers don’t see them.

That way you will be able to log-on using that account and reset the password for the account you have forgotten the password for. Or you can goto Microsofts support website and create yourself a password recovery disc at the same time you change the password and you will never have this problem again. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Create-a-password-reset-disk Remember though if you dont have a password recovery disc and you have forgotten the password for the ADMIN account (and that is the only user account) you will probally have to re-install windows Once you sort this problem, the best thing to do is set up another user account (with Admin rights) with either a simple to remember or no password.

He's very, very happy now. The ntpasswd instructions told him to just blank the password, and that's all he needed.

So you can log in as administrator without supplying a password. By blanking a password I mean the existing password is changed to blank, or nothing.
