You can directly right clock the image and give write to disc. Else you can use any disc burining software like gnome bake

Your best bet is to use the original media provided by your vendor or obtained from MS. Regardless of how you ended up with folders instead of images, there may be no way to recreate those images now. Hopefully all these Windows copies are legitimate, right?
