If you view the CD and actually see your ISO file, the CD hasn't been burned correctly. When you ciew the contents of a CD properly burned from an ISO image you should see all the files and directory structures 'inside' the ISO on the CD, not the ISO image itself. I have no idea how to burn an ISO in wDOS. Some people use NERO I guess? Might want to take that question to a win32 help list. Also, just out of curiosity, why didn't you grab a more recent ISO image?
