Hi,

I'm not a computer newbie but a cd burner newbie, just got a Creative
40/16/10 burner and using Nero 5.5, i have no problem burning audio
CDs, data CDs etc., have already backed up most of my stuff, but i
don't quite understand this concept of creating an "image", which is
referred to in the Nero help files and elsewhere.  Is it just an
outline of the files that will actually be burned onto the disk?  Can
someone just give me a simple description of what an "image" is in
this context and what useful purpose they serve, rather than just
making a data CD or audio CD etc.

Thx for any info.

Danny.
