Did you just copy the file to the cd or did you burn the image? With ISO files, you have to use the option in your burning software for burning an image. For instance, with Nero, there are several different things for making data disks, video disks, etc, but there's one option in there that says "Burn image to disk".....that should make the ISO readable if you burn it that way.
