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:
