    I use InfraRecorder. Nice little free app.

    There's also ImgBurn, very recommended.

    Windows also has an integrated burning solution, I think :). But I'd never use that...

    The absolute best (free) CD burning program I have found is CDBurnerXP. It's a great program with a very solid feature set! It also supports LightScribe if your CD burner offers this feature in your laptop or you decide to go with an external.

    Check it out: [B][U]http://www.cdburnerxp.se/[/U][/B]

    ImgBurn is an excellent choice.

    Windows 7 does a damn good job of burning ISOs and images. And I've never had an issue with Windows built-in burning tool for files and stuff.

    Not to threadjack, but I have a semi-related question. Anyone know which software is required to burn the recovery discs? I removed a bunch of software without burning the recovery discs, and now, when I click on Recovery Media Creation, it doesn't even launch.

    Thanks.

    if you have imgburn and it works for you then stick with it. If not look elsewhere.
