Otherwise, another solution (I personally have never used it, but is
possible) is to use WinRAR to extract all the contents of the ISO file
to a folder and burn the contents of the folder. Note that you're not to
burn the folder itself, but the contents of the folder. The cd will take
the place of that folder :)
AFAIK this will remove the ISO header links to the bootable catalog (the embedded floppy boot section). All the files will probably be included (possibly with wrong file permissions, such as the executable bit) but the CD will not boot.

CONCUR! -- this will not work. I know someone that did it (me, long ago!).
DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!!
SUGGESTION: (Pudubu) this is like *really* not the distro to start with; I know a lot & it took me *forever* to do, and a 'newbie' installing to a drive with another o/s on it will probably manage to destroy the other o/s . Try Mandrake first, *then* if you really want to learn all the greasy, grimy, blood-&-guts learning you can go to Gentoo. (I am basically a newbie to Gentoo, and I already love it.) (Or try SuSE or FedoraCore or Xandros or Linspire or Ubunto; I've heard lots of good about all, but I no longer like SuSE very much, and I do know that Mandrake is good for newbies; the others I know only by hear-say.)

(This advice is free, because you couldn't *possibly* afford to pay for its actual value unless you are Bill Gates masquerading as 'Pudubu'!)
Best!,
rgh.
Oh right... I forgot the bootable thing! Well, one can make a bootable cd via Nero and select the boot image in the cd to boot from.
And yes, I would definitely not start with Gentoo as my first Linux distro...
Sorry for the wrong info earlier...
