.BIN file are binary files with no specific affiliation to a specific software package.

They are used for BIOS Flash files, optical disc images and most other unspecified uses.

"[i]Binary files are used for a wide variety of content and can be associated with a great many different programs. In general, a .BIN file will look like garbage when viewed in a file editor and unless there is some clue in the ASCII portion of the file (if any) there is little one can do to determine which program a particular .BIN file goes with. The context of the file (where it is located) may help. Sometimes a CD or DVD image is circulated as a .BIN file. These images must be either written to a disc or opened using a virtual CD/DVD disc program. Note: This file type can become infected and should be carefully scanned if someone sends you a file with this extension[/i]"

Basically, if it is less than 1MB it is most likely a flash file for BIOS, if it is several hundred MB or more then it is likely an optical disc image, which can burned to disc or virtualised as described by Nimmo.

BIOS flash files can be copied to a 3.5 inch floppy or a thumb drive, for use by the BIOS before the operating system has loaded. The floppy or thumb drive should be designated as the 2nd boot device with optical drive #1 and hard drive #3.
