When you burn the iso image, make sure the computer isn't trying to do too many other things. This is less of a problem now, but in the "good old days" the computer could be so busy that it wouldn't get data to the burner fast enough, and that would result in a bad copy (also known as a "coaster," as in: "3: a covering (plate or mat) that protects the surface of a table (i.e., from the condensation on a cold glass or bottle)").
