The easiest way to rip an ISO from a CD or DVD
I just Became the proud owner of an alienware m11x. The machine is amazing, but I doesn’t come with a CD/DVD drive. So I had to come up with a way to access my DVDs and CDs on my new machine. After googling and talking to friends of mine I decided to create an ISO (which is a copy of the CD) and put the ISO file on my new laptop via an external hard drive transfer. Then I would have to use somewhere to run the ISO like it was a normal CD.
Moving back to the point of this post, I needed to wade through the internet’s crappiest free somewhere to find a good way to create a solid ISO file from CDs. That’s when I came across ISO Recorder. It’s a simple software that lets you rip the CD without launching some crappy software. You install it, then you can right right-click on your CD drive and click “create copy(ISO)”. Usually takes about 2-3 minutes. After that you have a clean CD image.
