How do I burn files over to my DVD Disc?
With windows 8 there's no "Burn" button when it says "Files ready to be written on the disc".
Windows 7 was so much simpler, what do I do now?

Really? how?
"1. Place a blank unformatted CD or DVD into your CD/DVD drive, and do step 2 or 3 below.
NOTE: If a AutoPlay window opens with the option to format the CD/DVD, then just close it.

2. Right click or press and hold on the ISO or IMG file that you want to burn to CD/DVD, click/tap on Burn disc image, and go to step 4 below. (see screenshot below)"

That option doesn't even exist..

Insert a blank disc, in explorer click the file you want to burn, select Share under Library tools in the Ribbon :D

one way I found to do it for random files ,[not ISO or image files] I copied to disk was ,in windows explorer after you drag and drop the file to the dvd ,right click on the dvd drives icon and choose eject ,and it will burn the file to disk,before it spits out the dvd

Imgburn is a CD/DVD burning program, not just an "image" burning program.

SHEESH. How come 90 percent of the respondents in this thread either tell how to burn an img (NOT THE OP'S QUESTION)
or
Insist on talking about 3rd party programs????

OP had a simple question. Once you get the "files are ready to be written" prompt, where's the FREAKING Write option?
Really. An easy, clear question.

OP--on Win 8, the option is not where it used to be. In your COMPUTER window, right click the DVD/CD and there will be a "Burn to Disc" option.

Or, as 1 (ONE!!!!) respondent said, you can also eject the cd to get the prompt to burn it.

As this thread is in the How to install Windows 8, you would need a DVD or USB to install.
Therefore the posters are right in there posts.

I personally always use NERO to burn ISO's.

>>> I personally always use NERO to burn ISO's.

Got it. The thread's in the wrong place, so we make up answers for imaginary versions of the question.

Here's mine: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, then bake for 40 minutes.

I've never had any trouble burning an image - Just right click on the ISO file and click "Burn"

Or, you choose a folder and right click, choose "Send To" and select your Optical Drive. A little Wizard pops up, asking you if ya wanna burn it to disk, or a flash drive. Choose the disk. The files then copy over into the Burning folder.

After that, just right-click and hit BURN, the burning program pops up,

I have all that cack, like ImgBURN and UltraISO - But I haven't used em since I installed Windows 8
