How to burn a recovery or rescue disc
Keep a bootable recovery disc on the shelf for the day Windows won't start. cdBurner burns the rescue ISO so it boots from the drive.
Step by step
Connect the burn agent
Open onlinecdburner.com and make sure the burn agent is connected (install it once if needed).
Insert a blank disc big enough for the image
Match the disc to the image size — a CD for small images, a DVD for up to 4.7 GB, a Blu-ray for more.
Choose “ISO image”
Select your recovery .iso.
Burn the image
cdBurner writes it sector-for-sector so the disc is bootable/readable exactly as intended. Keep Finalize on.

Why cdBurner is different
There is no other tool on the internet that burns real, physical discs straight from a web page. cdBurner is the first of its kind.
- 100% free — no trial, no watermark, no nag screens.
- Private — files are written locally and never uploaded to a server.
- No bloatware — one small signed helper, not a heavy install.
- Built on Windows' native IMAPI2 engine, so your discs read everywhere.
