Sounds like you burnt it as an ordinary data CD - you need to burn it as
an "image" - in other words, a clone of the original ISO. If you look at
the CD in your file manager, do you see one file, or a whole bunch of
files and directories ? You should see the latter. If you just see one
file, this is the problem.
