K, so i got these two files, one a .cue and the other a .bin. So I got a program called binchunker to convert them to ISO.(This is my first time doing this so I may be way off) I converted the .cue into an ISO, I double clicked on it and it brought up my adaptec CD creator. So i thought GREAT! and hit create CD, but after it finished, the comp won’t recognize the CD ☹ Plz help… ---

Oops, forgot to mention… when Adaptec opened, i dragged the new ISO file into the CD layout section. ---

Few things. A. Which version of EZ-CD creator are you using? B. Bin/Cue files are usually burned with CDRWin (at [http://www.goldenhawk.net](http://www.goldenhawk.net)) or Fireburner (no idea). You will get better results using either of them. C. If you can’t use them, the is a program called ISObuster that will allow you to open the bin file, extract the files to a directory, then burn that directory. This is if EZ-CD won’t work. You can get it at [http://www.gamecopyworld.com](http://www.gamecopyworld.com), under the cd tools section.
