At least if we can't be techies, we have techies to do our bidding, no?

What software do you use to burn CDs?

I take it that you don't understand what any of that technobabble means.

It sounds like you're being told to burn a CD-ROM from an ISO image. That's presumably what's in the .zip file. Un-zip the file and take a look. (Or just preview the contents if your archiving software will let you.) If the contents are a single, big file ending in .iso, then all you have to do is tell your burner software that you want to burn from an image. Check the software's help file for instructions.

If there are lots of files, then burn them all onto a CD-R disk. Don't use a CD-RW (Re-writable); those aren't usefull for any application other than as drink coasters. The rest of the technobabble is just telling you to use your burner's likely default settings.

Roxio CD Creator comes fairly standard with a lot of PCs -- it can decode an ISO file onto a CD or DVD disk.

Dang man. Just use Nero Burning ROM and it's all just a drag and drop operation to write those files to a CD-R. Skip the techno-babble. If you're looking for a good zip/unzip program, just Goggle and download Power Archiver. It's free and complete.
