Doesn't look like an ISO then, file should say something like these:


[summer at bilby ~]$ file downloads/*.iso *.iso
downloads/dcc-3.0pr1-i386.iso:    ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'CDROM 
                  ' (bootable)
downloads/home-3.0.R3.iso:        ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 
'home3.0                  ' (bootable)
downloads/pxes-1.0-15PB-tiny.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 
'ISOPXES                  ' (bootable)
ComputerDatasafe-1.8.5.iso:       ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'CDROM 
                  '
minikick.iso:                     ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 
'MiniKick                  ' (bootable)
[summer at bilby ~]$

Time to review how it was created.
