If you're not familiar with "portable" apps, they're portable because they don't rely on the Windows registry for storing settings. Instead they either forgo settings altogether, booting with the default settings each time, or (more likely) save the settings to whatever the directory the program is run from. Reliance on the registry for storing settings and registration info, which started with Windows 95 for maintenance and version control reasons, is why you must reinstall applications whenever you reinstall Windows.
DeepBurner Free Portable burns data discs, as well as ISO images and has worked well for me over several months. It's a program every tech should have in their emergency kit.--Jon L. Jacobi
