Okay, so, I want to get this computer game, Rise of Nations, so I downloaded a huge .exe file that have on my computer. To try to work with it, I extracted it with ISOBuster, which gave me one huge .TAO file, which I am keeping in a new folder I made in program files. I want to burn this to a CD to make the game, but I don’t know what to do from here. Any help anyone? **(I have never don this before, so plz explain it step by step)

There should be an associated .CUE file (small). Nero will use this to burn the .TAO file - just 'Burn image' with the .CUE file instead.

re Mr R’s post and Korki’s response

I followed the instructions

so I clicked Open Image
Right clicked on the toa file in the box that appeared then clicked Open
something called CD Segment was highlighted in the box and then I clicked Save and now its extracting CD segment (very slowly)....

will this then work on my PC, or do i need to burn it onto disk?

Hey Korki

Thanks for that!

what I did i was extract everything by highlighting the right window in ISO Buster. When finished I click on Setup which just wouldnt work coz it was missing vorbisfile.dll. So I downloaded that and plonked it in the system folder. The thing still wouldnt work and it spouted on about vorbis_window not having a starting point (or something) in the dynamic windows library. Sounded all very dramatic so I deleted it before my pc exploded. I guess I extracted the .cue file along with the rest.

When i right click on the file, the “Extract raw data” option isn’t available. Any suggestions why?

you dont need iso buster for the bin and cue files, just open nero, click on recorder|burn image and open the bin or the cue file (always forget which it is). or use daemon tools to mount the image, meaning you dont need a cd.

I have extracted this tao. file and I have a cue. file associated with. Opening any of these with IsoBuster doesn’t make my Extract RAW Data (*.bin, *.iso) aveilable. I have tried all things posted previosly (renaming in .iso, using Nero ...) but I can’t get the movie file from inside the TAO compressed archive.

Any efficient suggestion?

Hi Guys,
it has been 4 hrs and I can’t figure this out. I by mistake 'quick erased' a DVD+RW with data on it. I have tried to recover the data is IsoBuster 1.8 but I keep getting an error. 'Extracting Aborted' 'Windows Exception Error, Error writing data to destination, Check destination: Full, write protected,...' I get this error when the extraction process reaches 100%. It still makes a file but a smaller file and the iso contains nothing inside it. But when I extract the data as multiple image files then this pop up doesn’t show up. But how am I supposed to access the data in the multiple files? And how do I eliminate this error and retrieve my data. If I lose this data I will be weeks behind in my work.

rgrds,

If you have a .TAO file, rename it to .ISO

When you have a .ISO file, right click the ISO file and choose Open with > Nero, Then Select your DVD-RW Drive stick in a Blank DVD and hit BURN!!!!!!
