I have a Mac "Powerbook" G3 (OLD) with OS 9 and backed it up to an iso (actually it's a .BIN file) a few months ago and put it on my second pc (Windows XP). The Mac currently has no OS on it and I have the bin on my desktop on my Windows PC. When I open it up in MagicISO it says

"can't find the file or file isn't cd image"

What I want to do is burn this .Bin file to a CD-R using Windows XP. How do I do it and WHY can't it read my backup? I heard some other people had the same problem on 2 different Mac OS 9 isos.

EDIT: I need to install Mac OS 9 so I can install Ubuntu Linux from there and I heard the only way is through OS 9.
