Hi
You should see something in Windows so something has gone wrong.
Because you can actually install from Windows.
The simplest way of burning a CD from an ISO image it to use the GPL
isoburn.exe. From sourceforge.net.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/isoburn/
You can not make an iso image bootable at burn time. An iso image is
like a single image stuck onto the CD
as a whole. Where as other data CD's are written a single file at a
time. Each file can be placed anywhere within the writable area it's
location isn't important. But the ISO is a image that defines that each
part of the image has a defined area of the media. Thus the boot sector
is within and configured for the image.
