Can you see 'the file' or can you see a whole shitload of files and directories? If you can only see one file, ?????.iso, then you didn't burn the CD correctly. The iso is an image file that needs to be burned onto the CD without anything else. If you drag and drop in Windoze then it will first create a filesystem on the CD and then copy the .iso to the CD. This is wrong. The .iso has a filesystem in it already.
Distro = Linux Distribution. Gentoo is not the easiest Distro to use and definitely not the easiest to install. Many others are a lot easier. On the other hand if you are dead set on learning Linux then by the time you get Gentoo installed you will at least know the basics. Good Luck.
