Hi Jack,
since you are talking about CD-formats (iso9660,joliet), my first guess
would be that you had your cd burning software create a new cd image
containing the donloaded image as its only file. This is wrong! Try to
pursuade the program to _not_ create an image, but burn your downloaded
image _as is_ to the CD.
HTH,
Heinrich
