And the winner of the noob question of the day goes to musiqman! I own the following {cdrwin,alcohol120,nero,winiso}
now does any of these support ace files for burning an image. The reason I ask is because I am familiar with mds/mdf and cue/bin files but not with .ace files. So which is the easiest to use. Its rather small software that I want to backup at 480MB. should I convert it somehow are keep it as .ace. Cause if I keep it as ace I am green all over. Any help would be much appreciated.And one more thing, should I have some kind of cue or mds with a ace file.

p.s I have been looking for a forum that I could answer but preety green compared to most but if I keep learning surley I can eventually contribute.

ACE files are not images they are archives. Use WinRAR/WinACE to extract.

With ACE files, you might be able to peform repair operations using WinRAR or WinACE (open up the ACE file and look for repair in the tool menu somwehre). I dont think you will be able to repair it though but its always worth a shot.

Sorry it took me so long to write back, once again thank you for the wisdom you guys are the best. What I meant was that would the files appear in the winrar box if it says error. Its shows a image a cue and a ccd I hit extract then the box appears but how does it know what the files are and size Its just that I think its a user error and not a file error.

One more thing, I have pc software that Im backing up. Now I just converted it to cue/bin the thing is Im burning coasters now. I read stuff on here before but cant find it again I type burning coasters in the search and 2 posts come up about dvd's that has little to do with my situation. Im using alcohol120 and setting it at dao/sao checking the write box and the buffer underrun technology. and setting the dattype to customize. And keep getting coasters. Now do I try to use cd mage to see if its protected because I cant seem to check the bin for file corruption on cd mage. So my question is Am I doing the burn right with alcohol120 cause I once again strugglin noob in need thanx to praetor and every one else that helps noob like me.
