You need to burn the ISO as an image file correctly, not just as a file. I suggest you use Nero or similar and choose burn CD image from the drop menus. The CD will then probably auto boot correctly.

Or you could use daemon tools:

Creates a virtual cd drive from any disk image file.

Again....

Why is it that any time people mention ISOs, it is assumed (by some) that piracy is involved?

Most of the Linux distros are ISO image files.
