One day I had encountered a problem while trying to burn an .mdf file so I thought of posting a step by step guide for doing so! Files with the extensions .mdf and .mds ar also iso files or image files. These are made by the programme alcohol 120%. These files are similar to files with extensions .bin or .cue files. These are mainly used for making back up copies of a data cd or dvd that can be used later. These files can be played in a cd/dvd rom emulator program named DAEMON TOOLS.
Burning an mdf file using Nero.
To burn a file with extension .mdf using Nero do the following-
1. Go to the file and change extension of the file from .mds to .iso in the properties window.
2. Start nero express and choose “ disc image or saved project”
3. Select the image file and you will see that now nero detects it as an iso file.
4. After selecting the iso file click on the “burn” option.
.mdf files can be worked one using software called ALCOHOL 120% and DAEMON TOOLS.
