Default Booting

nero burning rom gives you the option to burn cd and dvd images, you should
be able to do it with a trial version from www.ahead.de (If they still do
them)

However most other burning suites have the burn image option, you just have
to change the image type they are looking for and then point to the image
file.

As has been stated in other posts If you burn the iso file instead of
pointing an image burn to the iso it wont work as all it does is make a copy
of the image. The point behind image files is that they contain a complete
copy of an original disk including the correct FAT for CD's which is why
when you extract the files and burn them seperately they dont work. The file
structure on a CD is NOT the same as on a hard drive and does not work in
the same way - rendering the boot files useless when copied to cd or DVD
