If it supposed to be for a CD then it will probably fit.  An image
file may be too big to be put on the CD as a file, but ok as an image.

If you open your favourite CD/DVD burning s/w it should have a Burn
Image option somewhere.  If you cannot find it tell us which s/w you
are using (look in the help for it first, obviously).
