Ok this is odd, I've burnt the .iso to DVD using ImgBurn but have ended up with an .nrg file, which a quick search says is a Nero file and I've only got a really old version of Nero that I haven't installed as it says its not compatible with Vista.
The source file says its an NTI iso file (.iso) & I didn't change any of the settings when I burnt it, any ideas what's going on?

did you burn Image to disk, or burn data??

Burnt image to disk.
Just clicked it again and it says:
Imp ID: Microsoft IMAPI2 1.0 File Sys: UDF (1.02)

where as I have another NTI iso file that I used ImgBurn to burn the image to DVD and it says:
Imp ID: Microsoft CDIMAGE UDF File Sys: ISO9660 (Bootable), UDF (1.02)

I can't say I understand any of this but I know the ISO9660 (Bootable) part is the important part.

Personally I use the following

LCISO Creator (copying contents of disks to make an .iso)
LCISO Burner (for burning isos)

I use Daemon Tools Lite for mounting them as virtual CD's. all free, they work great

Thanks but don't they work exactly the same as ImgBurn? And I don't think I want to mount them as I need a bootable disc/DVD to install a new hard drive.

Send me the original link to the file via PM, so I can study the source.

Yes they do work exactly the same way, they're designed to burn iso files. I also have another iso burner (thin it's img burn) you basically choose the image and it autoburns when you click start

I used ImgBurn to burn the image to disc but for some reason ended up with a .nrg file. I think there's something wrong or missing from the .iso file.

Sounds like the image file is an image of another image :rotfl:
