add a -o loop and make sure you are root when mounting a loopback file system.
When you download an .iso file, you need to burn the iso itself onto the disk, and not it's contents. If you use k3b, it is under tools -> burn CD image or burn DVD image. When downloading an iso please check the iso as described in the download page, the checksums must match before you would want to use the iso. It is not clear from your post how you burned the isos .....
