Let me guess: you burned the ISO directly to the CD? So that on the CD
you have the .iso-file and nothing else? 

You should burn a disk from the ISO image - not a disk with the image.
How you do this depends on your cd writing software, in Nero and others
there usually is some "write from image" or something in the menus.

Hope this helps.
