    I have 5 (family tree data) CD's - with .exe's on them - that I am trying to create VCD's of to save me from having to keep swapping them around in my drive ..

    Create images using ImgBurn(be careful whilst installing, to not install any Junkware)

    Guide here

    Then you can 'Mount' the images using the Windows 8 utility.

    VCD stands for something else entirely.

    That link took me to an infected site - Malsign.OpenCandy.7AF
    And anyway - IMG burn creates .EXE from .ISO
    I need ISO's !!

    Thanks

    It's a direct link to the Imgburn site.

    Just download and install, but be careful to check each step before clicking on 'Next'.

    Try not to be silly. I've made it as simple as possible for you.
    Which one of us do you think is confused?

    My AVG wouldn't allow me to install IMG Burn without adding the virus - so I am stuck !!


    ie) It raised it as a virus - I said "clean it" - it cleaned it and wouldn't install the remainder
    Are there any other free / safer utilities to do the same thing ?

    There is nothing wrong with the link NiftyDigits gave you, it's your antivirus registering a false positive.
