In K3B you want to use the "Tools -> Burn CD Image" command.  You do not want 
to drag it into a data CD project, as this may cause the kind of problems you 
describe.  This will work for burning the ISO file, which is a complete image 
of the CD, ready to be burned byte for byte to the CD.  The CD image contains 
a compressed volume, with large amounts of software, which is the DVD sized 
part you are describing.  You must burn the ISO image without opening it (and 
decompressing the contents).
