An ISO file is a "disc image". Think of it as a bit-for-bit copy of a CD or DVD. Don't burn the ISO as a file onto the CD; you must use your burning software in a special mode, called something like "Burn from ISO".

Software like Nero can do this, and I think Easy CD Creator can, too. If your burning software can't burn ISOs, you can always try this freeware tool: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

You can find more information about ISO images at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_image.

Can you help with this problem?
