Ack! Does the CD contain just a single file ending in .iso? :)
An .iso is similar to the floppy disc images that are on the CD, in that
they contain a bit-by-bit image of what's on the CD, including directory
structure and all that. It doesn't contain that *data*, it contains the
actual *filesystem*.
Basically, you need to tell your CD-recording software that you don't want
to burn that *file*, but that you want to burn the *image* contained
within the file. A bit more information on how to do this on Linux,
Windows, and MacOS is available at <http://cdimage.debian.org/faq.html>.
If I've misunderstood the problem, let me know. :)
