Viewing .nrg file?
Having downloaded a file with a .nrg extension I'm have trouble viewing it. I think that this is some sort of iso image file but created by
Nero. The net recommended Alcohol52% to open the file but I'm not having a lot of success.
Anyone know what I should be doing? do I need to burn the file to DVD and then view it? If so do I need to convert it to a different format.
Any help or advice greatly received. Thanks.

Yeah, it's a Nero image, their version of an .iso file.
There are .nrg to .iso convertors available if you have a different burning program other than Nero.
Also, software that can mount .iso files as drives, ie as if you'd burnt it to a disc and put the disc in a drive, but saves wasting a disc.
If you're on linux this is all very easy...?

Daemon Tools works fine with NRG files, I use it regularly.

Thanks for the help.
Tried Alcohol And Daemon and it looks like I have a bad/incomplete file. Although this could also be me not grasping what I should be doing as I
assumed that this was a giant manual but it seems to be more of a program.Every time I try and mount it it brings up a runtime error, grrrr.
Going to try a couple of other versions of the file to see if I can get it to run.
