Hm, what kind of software do You use? In Nero, for example, there is a 
funktion "burn image" or so. And that is something completely different than 
simply COPYING the image on a FILESYSTEM on the disk, as Mica wrote above! It 
means just duplicating (pit after pit) the ISO, which is a correct image of a 
Disk ( got the difference?). I hope this will help.
