yes, it is just a data image so you can save it anywhere it will fit
You need a program that will extract the data.
WinISO or ISOBuster will do it.
Download from one of the software houses.

Virtual CD can mount a CD as a drive letter on your PC, and it can import ISO files.
(I think that WinISO can do the same thing.)
Your operating system would see the data as if it were on a CD mounted in a real CD ROM drive.

Daemon tools will do that too, as well as a virtual DVD drive ;-)

Buy a larger CD format and keep your disk clean, CD's cost peanuts these days.

I had heard you get bigger CD's than 700MB, but I bet my 3 year old CD Writer won't be compatible.
Thanks to all the rest of you guys. I used Isobuster, but it returned a corrupt file message so I was flogging a dead horse anyway !
Thanks again

A few things -
1) CDMage will fix broken images; Make a copy first, 'cause CDMage fixes images in realtime. (sorta)
2) Did you right-click on the file to see what size it <really> is?
3) Did you try burning it? I had a 720MB .iso burn just peachy; it was only 678MB after burning; Quite a bit of that info is 'instructions' of a sort for your burner.
Aaaand, last but not least, if you decide to burn it, just hit the simulation button first. Most burning apps have a simulation option. Works every time.
P.S. Even if it is too large to fit onto CD, any virtual drive should read it just fine after CDMage is done with it. It may end up bigger or smaller, though...
