Before I start in with my question, let me make it clear: yes, I am stealing games. Yes, I know this is wrong. Please, if anyone has something mean to say about it, keep it to yourself. Thank you.

Now, my question has a few parts, and any help is *greatly* appreciated:

I recently downloaded the razor1911 Warcraft 3 from kazaa, as a .bin file. I know that the typical way to play such a game is to make it an .iso file, then burn it onto a CD.

So my first question is: is this simply a matter of changing the extension from .bin to .iso, or should I be using a program such as ISOBuster to change the format, and if so, how?

I have tried opening the file in ISOBuster and using just about every right-click "extract as" option that is available, but I still cannot seem to get it to work with my virtualdrive, which I will explain more below.

The second part of my problem deals with Virtualdrive. This game is too large to fit onto a standard CD-R, and I don't have access to the larger discs right now, so I had planned on using virtualdrive to play it. I do not know if the method I am using is correct, and would appreciate help from anyone with experience in using the program.

What I am doing is clicking the "custom" option, then selecting the .iso that I had made (keeping in mind that I'm not sure if I did that part correctly), and clicking "build."

When the program has finished, and I attempt to run the .vcd, it just opens an explorer window with the .iso file, just as it is displayed anywhere else on my HDD, rather than triggering the autorun for the game.

Again, any help will be greatly appreciated, and if I've left out any neccesary information, just let me know and I'll try to help you help me.

Thank you
