Bear with me

[Thomas Kaiser]

Hello Matt

I think you burned the CD the wrong way. If you burn a ISO file you 
don't have to choose any boot option in your CD burn application.

Actually, a ISO file is just a 1:1 copy of a real CD. That means you 
have everything from the CD on your HD (ISO file). Any boot obtions or 
"whatever special" is included on the CD.

So, you have just to bring the contest of the ISO file to the CD. (1:1 
without any options from your burning application).

What CD burning program do you use?

If  I use CDrecordNow on my XP Laptop, it ask me if i want to burn a CD 
from ISO file. And then it writes the content of the ISO file to the CD. 
Nothing more or less. That's the way it should go.

I hope this information will help.

Regards Thomas
