Acrylic Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I downloaded something with a .bin in it, and I'm wondering, what can I use to open it? Do I need to download something like WinRAR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 WinRAR should be able to open it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrylic Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 I downloaded WinRAR, but it doesn't open it. Anyone else have any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 You need a .cue file as well to be able to burn it to disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Nine Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 You need a burning program, such as Nero. Use the .cue file, it should let you set up the .bin file to be burned to disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz I really have no idea what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 <_< Insert the disc into the drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 You sure winRAR couldn't open the bin file? I know I've looked at bin files with winRAR. Here's what you do. Open Nero Start Smart Goto Copy and Back up tab Click on Burn image to disc Make it so you can select all files Double click on your .cue file (I'd make sure the bin and cue are in the same folder) Then Proceed to burn. Like Sith said.... if you did it right... you CD should be whatever program you downloaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Thing is, I don't have nero. I have "Easy CD Creator 5". So, I dunno what I'd do there. Sorry, I'm really dumb when it comes to burning stuff I've never burned before. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Well, try looking for a "Burn image to disc" option. If not, you can get the trial here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrylic Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 Well, when I do that, a thing comes up that only lets me select from .cif files and .iso files. I guess I'll jsut have to get Nero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_One Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Or you could just mount the image on a virtual drive using a program such as Daemon Tools. Just Google it, the program is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
