Yes, bad download.
--------------- standard iso problem include follows ---------
Some or all may apply to you.
Always compare the md5sum on a iso download with the site's copy
before burning to verify you had a good download. There should have
been a md5sum file in the same directory as the iso.
md5sum --check md5sum_file_name_here
or
md5sum iso_name_here
and compare the output of md5sum with the content's of the
md5sum file.

Googling around today I found a post somewhere that suggested that some
combinations of ABIT mobos and Creative CDRW's could cause problems in
some situations. Sure enough - I disabled DMA on the CDRW's IDE channel,
and successfully burned all three disks, at speeds of 1x, 4x, and 8x (kept
notching it up, and it worked without a hitch).

Old burners have been known to have problems burning
re-writables (CD-RW) hope you are using quality CD-Rs.
You may have to use the 700 MB\80 Minute instead of 650 MB media.
Old burners/software may have problems burning the 700+ iso images.
Old cd readers may have problems reading the 700+ cds.
Be sure that the you set your burner to what the blank
cd write rating. Some people have problems burning CD-RWs below 3x.
Verify your cd burner can burn a 700mb cd.
You might want to check http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search
for your burner.
Verify bios has boot from cdrom first in the boot order.
Be sure bios has Plug and Play OS=no/off/false and
Resources Allocation : Manual, if you cannot get AUTO to work.
Disk drives are strapped Master/Slave not Cable select.
Lots of people do not pick the correct options on their burning
software and end up with an image file on the cd instead of the cd
being an image of the file on the harddrive.

When you look on the burnt cd, the FIRST thing you should see are
the directories and files.
Mandrake example: names with / on the end are directories
autorun.inf dosutils/ INSTALL.txt Mandrake/ tutorial/
Boot/ images/ LICENSE-APPS.txt misc/ VERSION
COPYING index.htm LICENSE.txt README.txt
