Remember, it is an image file so you have to burn it using special
settings. You cannot just add the file in the file list and then burn
it. That will just copy the .iso file on the CD. In SONIC DigitalMedia
Plus v7 choose "Burn Image" under "Copy" and then browse to the
downloaded .iso file and select it. Click on the big red button at the
bottom right to burn the image file on the CD. Now it should have a
bootable CD.
