    Hello All,

    Seeing as how the forum for this topic is now closed i wanted to ask a simple questions to how this all works. I have read many forums and they all talk about how you have to burn the .Bin and or.Cue or both and that the best program to use is Alcohol 120%. So lets jump into it:

    1. I have the Program Alcohol 120%
    2. I have my .bin and my .cue file
    3. I have Alcohol open
    4.I click on "Image burning Wizard"
    5. All it ask for is the .Cue file and then it wants to burn

    Am I doing this right is all I need is the .Cue file and somehow it will search for the .bin and burn it as well or is their another way I am supposed to go about this. It seems when I read many thread it is very vague on how to do this or people just call you stupid. Well I will agree that when I come to burning .bin and .cue I am not the expert but I am willing to learn. So if anyone can help me with this one I would appreciate it. Peace!

    The cue file contains the information that the burning program needs to burn the image file (the .bin)
    It should be in the same folder and if you open the cue in notepad you will see that it lists the name of the .bin file.

    Ok so when I burn the .cue it is burning the .bin at the same time with the info within the .cue.

    The cue file doesn't get burned;only the bin file.
    The cue file is a reference for the burning program.
