after messing with this for way too long I found a REAL easy answer to the question.
downloaded and installed this tool http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm
-
Download the ISO CD image to a folder on your computer.
-
Insert a blank CD in your CD-RW drive
-
Locate the ISO file, right-click the file name, and then click Copy image to CD to open the ISO Recorder Wizard.
- Follow the steps in the wizard to write the image to the CD.
That is it… too easy!
