What is an ISO image?
An ISO image is simply a CD-ROM image saved in ISO-9660 format.ISO 9660 is an international standard originally devised for storing data on CD-ROM. ISO images are mainly used as source files from which to create CDs.The term ISO image is also used informally to refer to any optical disk image.
What is BIN/.CUE?
The .BIN/.CUE image file format was developed by Jeff Arnold for the CDRWin program. The .BIN file contains an exact copy of all data stored on an optical disk in raw, unprocessed form but without subchannel data.The file contains all data stored on the original disk - not only its files and folders, but also system-specific information such as boot loaders, volume attributes, error correction codes and other metadata on the disk itself. The .CUE file is a "cue sheet" that describes the data stored in the .BIN file. The .CUE file is a plain text file.
