If you look at the CD in explorer for example, do you see just 1 file with the same name that you burned (i.e ***.iso) or do you have a complete filesystem. This is a very common error. I'm not sure about NERO, but most windows burning software will burn the iso properly if you just double click the .iso icon or right-click the .iso icon and select burn. If not you must look through the menues to find the proper way to burn an image file - you could try the help menu as well. Scott
