Mount the ISO file
To mount an ISO file, you will need to use a virtual drive. Windows 8 and OS X have built-in virtual drive software that can be used for this purpose.
Firstly, you will need to convert the BIN file to an ISO file. One of the most popular free conversion programs is MagicISO. Start the program and click on the "Tools" menu, then select "BIN to ISO". Browse for your BIN file, choose a name for the new ISO file, and click "Convert".
Once the file has been converted, right-click on the ISO file and select "Mount". Your computer will now treat the ISO file as if it were a physical disc that has been inserted into the computer.
If you are using Alcohol 120%, a popular program for burning ISO images to CDs or DVDs, you can follow these steps:
- Open the Alcohol 120% application.
- Click on the "Image Burning Wizard" link on the left side of the main screen.
- Use the File Browser to find the ISO image you wish to burn.
- Review the information about the ISO file, such as its type, path, size, and name.
- Choose whether to delete the ISO file after burning or keep it for later.
- Select your preferred burning options, such as the drive, write speed, and write method.
- Insert a blank CD or DVD and start the burning process.
- Wait for the confirmation beep indicating that the burning process has been completed successfully.
By following these steps, you can mount an ISO file using a virtual drive or burn it to a disc using Alcohol 120%.

Burn the ISO file
To burn an ISO file, you will need a blank CD or DVD and the Alcohol 120% application installed on your device. Once you have these, follow the steps below:
- Open the Alcohol 120% application.
- On the left side of the main screen, click on the "Image Burning Wizard" link.
- After clicking that link, the screen will display an Image Finder. Click the "Browse" button to bring up the File Browser.
- Search through your hard drives to find the ISO image you wish to burn and select it.
- You will now see information about the ISO file, including its type, path, size, and name.
- You will also have the option to delete the ISO file after burning it. This is optional and depends on your preference.
- If your image is only CD-size (under 700MB), a warning will pop up. This is because Alcohol 120% detects a DVD burner in your system. Select the "No" option if you want to burn it to a CD-R/RW instead of a DVD.
- Now, you can select your burning options, such as the drive, write speed, and write method.
- Insert a blank disc and start burning. The time it takes to burn will depend on the size of the image, the burner's speed, and your computer's performance.
- Once the burn is complete, test the disc by inserting it into the device you intend to use it with. Ensure that everything loads correctly.
Congratulations! You have successfully burned an ISO file using Alcohol 120%.
