Answer 1

an iso is a disc image,

it is a type of archive.

just moving or burning the iso in an unpacked state will not work.



you need to burn it to a DVD or CD,



using iso burning software.

Answer 2

Get the free program BurnCDCC. It only burns images or .iso files to a CD or DVD. Easiest program for burning image and .iso files to disk. Nothing fancy and is straight forward and simple to use. You don't put the .iso file on the CD/DVD, it doesn't work that way.

Answer 3

if all you see when you open the cd in the file manager is a .iso file, you burnt it wrong. An .iso is a bit for bit copy of a CD, and you need to run a CD writer that knows to use the .iso as a bit for bit template, rather than wrapping it up in a data session.
