Hi,

Your message is a little confused. What have you burned into the CD, the ISO file or the content of the ISO file? Because, if you burn the ISO itself, you will remain unable to read it (at least for what you need it). When you try to burn a CD, choose the ISO as a image of the disk instead of drag it to the drop zone of the burn program.

If this is not the problem, try to better explain the situation.
