image file

The so-called image file is actually similar to the rar ZIP archive. It makes a specific series of files into a single file according to a certain format to facilitate users to download and use, such as an operating system, games, etc. Its most important feature is that it can be recognized by specific software and can be directly burned to a disc. In fact, the image file in the usual sense can be expanded, and more information can be included in the image file. For example, system files, boot files , partition table information, etc., so that the image file can contain all the information of a partition or even a hard disk. In general, the burning software can directly burn the content contained in the supported image file to the disc. In fact, the image file is the "extract" of the CD.
