Start -> Programs -> Nero -> Nero 6 -> Nero Express

Select " Disc Image or Saved Project "

In the "File of Type"

Select "Image Files (*.nrg, *.iso, *.cue) "

Select the Image you need to burn

Click "Open" button

Then "NEXT"

Nero will start burning the CD

After that Reboot the sys.

Make sure U boot from CDROM (Set in BIOS)

Bye

ya remember to set your BIOS/CMOS to boot from CDs , this is important or else u will end up booting from your harddisk instead.

Also ISO image that you are talking about could be corrupted, try using some other ISO file (bootable).

hi naveev
i hv done the steps u hv provided
the problem is it is nt selecting the .iso file ( its nt seeing them)
olso .iso files r assoceted with nero but when i doble click on it nothing happens.
the nero i ws using was oem verson with LG drive and mine is samsung so i revert back to nero 5.5 came with my drive but the problem is still there.
i tried four iso images given in digit dvd.
also i want to know that can i burn ISO image on cd RW.
OFCOURSE i hv set boot form cd rom option from bios.
i hv also cheaked the red-hat -8 linux cds and even with xp cd it is booting fine

@abhasbajpai
Try using Nero 6
Try using any other cdburners.......... other than Nero..

You can use RW CD also to burn the iso images that is not at all a problem.

Try

Ultra ISO
Magic ISO
ISO Buster

******

A SINGLE ISO FILE ?

iso is the imsge file
u arent writing the image file
u writing FROM the image file
so to answer ur question .. yeah ull see multiple files

abhasbajpai can u tell the whole procedure in details that u use to burn this ISO to a CD-R or CDRW. How do u go about doing it , how u get the ISO file from DIGIT CDs to your harddisk first ( do u do this ) and how to use NERO BURNING ROM, complete with all the steps u use, then we can understand your problem. Its very difficult to understand your problem at this stage.
