several times with Nero V5.5 as well as Nero Express.

Bootable ISO CD - Windows XP CD burning software

Unfortunately, as stated in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article
Q279157:
"The CD-RW recording feature that is built in to the Windows XP
shell does not support the creation of an International Standards
Organization (ISO) image. To create an ISO image in Windows XP, you
need to install a third party utility that supports this feature."

Bootable ISO CD - creating with Roxio Easy CD creator

Download the .ISO file to your hard drive.

Locate the downloaded file. Select the file, and then open the file
by double-clicking it. Roxio Easy CD Creator will then launch.
Insert a blank CD-R in the drive.
At the record CD Setup screen select "Start Recording". Follow the
on screen prompts to complete the DWSE boot CD creation.
You may also create the boot CD by using the "Open this file from
its current location" option instead of downloading the file to your
hard drive.

Bootable ISO CD - creating with Ahead Software Nero version 5.5.24
or higher

Download the .ISO file to your hard drive.

Open your Nero Burning ROM software.
If the Nero Wizard opens by default then close it (click the close
wizard button). Otherwise skip this step.
Click Cancel when the New Compilation window opens. Once this
cancels you should be at the main Nero Burning Window.
From the pull down menu at the top of the Window, choose File > then
select Burn Image. This will open a file-browsing box.
Choose the DWSE_EN.ISO file (after navigating to the location you
downloaded it to) then click the Open button.
Now the Write CD window will open. Click the Write button.
Once the CD has completed writing you can discard the log file,
close Nero, and reboot from the CD. Be sure you BIOS is set to boot
from CD, otherwise you will just boot as normal.
More detailed steps with screen shots can be found on Ahead
software's web site.

You may be able to create the bootable CD using software other than
Roxio Easy CD Creator or Ahead Software's Nero. Check with your
software manufacturer for more information on creating a CD from an
ISO image file. This is an .ISO image file.

Do not burn the file to the CD as a simple data file. It must be
treated as an .ISO image or it will not run the program properly.
