    Careful; that implies that you're burning it as a file instead of as an
    image. Buring it as a file just leaves the .iso file on the CD; burning
    it as an image expands it into a bootable CD.

    Dan, it depends on your software. The burning capability that is built
    into WindowsXP is incapable (as far as I've ever been able to figure) of
    burning an image; it only burns files. Third-party software for Windows
    should have the capability, as does Mac and Linux software (you don't
    give any info on what type of system you have).
