What CD burning program are you using under Windows?

Save the ISO image to a folder to your hard disk, and use your CD
burning program under Windows to burn the data of the ISO image to a CD.

If you are using Nero, you will select and burn the ISO image as a CD by
selecting a menu something like Recorder::Burn Image.
