How can you tell if an bkup image is patched?

[Tonytone]

If I have an image (cue, bin, etc...) of a backup and wish to burn it on a CD-R, how can I tell if it's been patched already? Often times the image filename doesn't specify it.

Second question is, are all image backups burned to CD-R? From what I've seen the file sizes are in the 700MB range.

Last question, I have CDRwin 5.0 and the optional settings are much different than what I'm, used to. Can anyone shed some light as to the major tic areas, my drives are 100% CloneCD compatible IE RAW-DAO 96, etc... I have noticed that in CDRwin 5 there's an area where you're supposed to drag-and-drop your file name, well if I have a cue and a bin only one can by dropped? Does CDRwin process a bin without a cue?

Thanks In Advance.

No such thing as cdrwin 5, at least it not by golden hawk, besides, if you are compatable with clone cd then use it for cdr backups, use firebiuner or blindwrite to burn cue,bin files

Like Nightstalker said.... CDRWIN 5.0 is NOT a golden hawk release.... Get rid of it..... You said your burner is 100% clone cd compatible......USE IT (Clone CD)......

You can't tell really. If you want to know if its been patched pal/ntsc or ea just use the generic converter to scan though the vmode and change/check the settings.

Images can fit on a 650mb to 700mb CDR.
Then there are of course DVDimages that can be 1gig to 4gig
for 4.7gig DVDR.

No such version... You can use CDRwin but sometimes it makes good burns that don't work on some CDrecorders.
I use FIREBURNER the best & handles .iso, bin/cue also can relink a cue to a bin file is messed up.
