The .iso file is completely bootable within itself: There is nothing you 
have to do to it to make it boot, just write it directly.

Unfortunately many CD writer programs try to be clever by opening the 
the .iso image and allowing you the option to edit the image before 
burning it. The side effect of this is that the attributes that make the 
disk bootable are stripped from the disk, and you end up writing a dud.

Bottom line is, make sure you select the "burn ISO directly to CD" 
option in your CD writer software, you should find how to do this in 
your CD writer manual.
