CD image files created by RecordNow! Marshall Price <d021317c[ at ]yahoo.com> 12.07.2007 21:31:53 My Compaq Presario laptop was destroyed by lightning, and now I have a Gateway laptop. I copied files from my old computer's hard drive to my new computer, but I don't know what to do about some CD image files which have HP/Compaq's "RecordNow!" format with the ".gi" file extension. I discovered IsoBuster, which looks as if it might work, but it's not free. I tried changing the file extension to ".iso", but that didn't work. Can anybody help me retrieve these image files for use with other programs? -- Marshall Price of Miami

Give IsoBuster a go, the registration unlocks additional functionality but it doesn't stop you from using the basic program.

I've been having trouble trying to figure out how to use Isobuster to do that. These are images of audio CDs, by the way. Can you give me any advice on how to copy them onto blank CDs? (They're old CDs, and I'm sure they have no copy protection.)

Mine are all 500-800MB. Trying UltraISO, I get the error message, "Cannot convert audio CD images to standard ISO format." Perhaps an ISO image is not what I want.
