Dealing with Files with .bin extension

  These file extensions are commonly used to show that a file is an image of a CD or DVD.
  The most simple way to access these files is to use your CD or DVD Burner to burn them to a disk. Nero is a common program that is used to burn bin/cue files to hard media.
  One really nice thing to do is to treat these files as a virtual CD or DVD without ever burning them. #-Link-Snipped-# is one program that is often used to do this. Microsoft now has a #-Link-Snipped-#
  The other place that *.bin files are frequently used are in emulation software. Gaming roms are often stored in compressed files full of bin files. If you have a zip file full of *.bin files, try #-Link-Snipped-# or some similiar emulator.

  extract that file then open daemon tool,mount that image file in daemon tool
  
  but i think as you said you don't have a CD/DVD drive then you can not able to mount that .bin,cue

  daemon tools create a virtual DVD drive on which the .bin/.cue files are mounted..you can specify the number of virtual drives to be created..

  Burn .bin file without .cue file
  
  To burn a bin file, you will need an appropriate cue file.
  
  You do exactly the same as for iso files, but when you click on “burn image,” you don’t browse to the bin itself, but instead to the cue file, and you open that one.
  When the writer starts to burn, it will automatically search for the bin file and start burning it. In fact, the cue file tells the burning program where it can find the bin file that is attached to it. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you use the right cue file when you burn a bin. i.e both cue and bin files that are attached to each other must be located in the same folder, and every bin file has it’s own cue file.
  
  
  Normally, when you download a bin file, you can download the appropriate cue file as well. If you do not have the cue file (or feel bold) you can make the cue file yourself, which is really easy to do:
  
  a. Open notepad
  
  b. Copy the folowing text into notepad:
  
  FILE“nameofimage“BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
  INDEX 01 00:00:00
  
  Where nameofimage.bin is the name of the bin file you want ot burn.
  
  c. The rest is easy: just save the notepad text with the name of the bin, but with the cue extension.
  
  d. The file should be saved in the same folder as its appropriate bin file and should be something like myfile.cue
