Can't read disc.

[Darcy Casselman]

Hi John,

An .iso file is a disc image file.  You need a program that will burn
the image that it represents, not just the file to the disc.

There's a HOWTO on the wiki here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto

Sorry you had to waste a disc.  Hope it works out for you.

Darcy.
