I want to do a clean install of rc1. I have used MagicISO to unmount the file
and have burned it to a DVD. Porblem is, my computer will not boot off the
DVD. ANy suggestions?

You should just burn the image straight to dvd and you should use as slow a
burn speed as you can. I don't know what you mean by unmounting and why you
would need to do it.

So, the .iso file will be read in boot up?

You can boot from the .iso file. In fact I do just that in Virtual PC.
What you have is the image of a bootable dvd that just needs to be
transferred back to physical media.

In the .iso image is a boot loader.

What you need to do is to use a good burning software.
In the program there will be an option to burn a DVD from image file.
Point to your .iso image
The finished DVD will now be bootable.

Ok, I have burned both the .iso file, and have used MagicISO to turn it into
files and folders. I still cannot get it to boot with either of them. I
have setup the dvd drive as the first boot source in bios, but it will not
boot from cd. Thanks for your answers so far.
