To address the issue of bootable CD burning, there is a right way and wrong way to burn the ISO file to cd. If you just burn the file to disk, it is just like any other file you may want to archive or have on CD. You must use a program like ISORecorder (with XP), DeepBurner (for any Win32), Nero, etc to use the ISO file as an image, placing that image on the disk, so that it has the boot sections in the proper place and format, can boot as disk A: or whatever, then proceed to using the files that should have been expanded onto the CD.
