ECM files help Windows understand what may be wrong with your computer.

Similar to the ISO file, ECM files are images of physical disks. ECM, which stands for Error Code Modeler, is often used as a way to report problems in a Windows operating system environment. Opening an ECM file can be difficult, as there is not a native program that can read the file. Converting the ECM file to the ISO format will make it much more accepted by many different programs.
