A friend downloading Linux for me did that too, despite being given explicit instructions for what to do with the ISO files, he went and did other things instead of just burning them.

I think you've got to do quite a bit of mucking around to get Nero to create a bootable disc, from individual files. The ISO is already as-you-need-it, it just needs burning to the disc. To burn disks from ISOs, you need to look through your burning software for options called something like "burn from image". There's tons of webpages describing how to "burn discs from ISO files". -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
