Daniel, An ISO file is basically a "snapshot" of a CD (or DVD or BlueRay) disc. You need special software to burn the image to a CD. Do NOT open the ISO file and copy the contents to a CD; that won't work. Windows 7 includes the ability to burn an iso; right-click the .iso file and pick "Burn disc image". For WinXP/Vista (or if you want a little more control in Win7), you need an iso burner program. Here's a free one I've used this in the past: http://www.ntfs.com/iso_burner_free.htm -- Noel Jones
