An image file is a compressed data file. What you need to do is when you 
want to burn something - data, music, video - you select that format 
from Nero Express. menu. If you are copying regular files for example, 
not music, video, etc. you select 'make data cd' and follow the wizard. 

You may want to update your Nero 5 software. Follow this link for the 
free update
