If you have Nero installed properly in your Windows XP , you do not need
any other program to burn a CD .

With Windows Explorer , position on the .iso file and double click . When
Nero starts directly burn the "image" . Do NOT select any Make Data , or
Copy Data etc. item from menus .

Directly burning an .iso file will create a boot enabled CD 9660 file
system . If you burn a data CD from .iso file , it will not record boot
sector , i.e. , it will not be boot enabled properly .

Thank you very much .
