Hello David,

    Yes, I was able to successfully burn the iso image to the DVD disk 
and I do see the files and directories.  By the way, I took this same 
disk and put it on a Dell Laptop of a friend of mine and it was able to 
boot the DVD successfully. So I think that it may be something on my 
laptop - perhaps the bios (it was previously set to boot from the 
CD-ROM).  Perhaps it is the bios - but I don't know what it is for 
sure.  When I put it in my DVD drive, it doesn't not boot to the DVD but 
instead goes to a normal boot up. This laptop is about four years old 
and originally had a combo drive (CD/DVD-ROM).
