As outlined in the '''[[Download Manjaro| Download Manjaro page]]''', an ISO is not simply a 'drag and drop' or 'copy and paste' duplication of Manjaro's installation files. It is in fact a copy of the raw computer code that makes up the files themselves. This is why it is necessary to use a '''software burning application''' to 'burn' an ISO file, that is, convert its raw code into the files onto a physical medium such as a DVD or USB flashdrive / datastick in order to use it. Once burned / converted, the files on that medium can then be used to run Manjaro directly without having to install it to your system (referred to as ''Live-CD or Live-USB'' mode), and/or install Manjaro on your system. Again however, it will not be necessary to to burn an ISO if you intend on running Manjaro in a virtual machine environment using Oracle's Virtualbox. This is because Virtualbox is able to read ISO files directly as ''virtual disks''. | As outlined in the '''[[Download Manjaro| Download Manjaro page]]''', an ISO is not simply a 'drag and drop' or 'copy and paste' duplication of Manjaro's installation files.
