This sounds like a common problem... it sounds remarkably like you burned the single ISO file to a disc as a normal file. When you pop the disc in the drive under Windows, does it show only the single ISO file on the disc? If so, then you have indeed burned it improperly.

What you need to do is burn the file as an image. The ISO file contains a snapshot of the contents of the CD that will be burned. You can think of it a bit like a zip file that contains no compression at all. It is just all the files put into a single file.

There are many 'tutorials' around on how to burn ISO files under Windows. If you still have your Nero documentation, it's in there. If not, then it's available from the Nero website.

also make sure that your cdrom or cdrecorder is set to boot before the Harddrive does. This can be done in your systems bios. There is usually an option to make the floppy drive boot first then cdrom devices and finally Harddrive. If you harddrive is booting first you will never be able to boot from cd.
