As its says further up the email what you have done is copy the iso file to a cd not created the mandrake install disk. An ISO file is made up of all the files on the install cd plus a file telling Nero, (or whatever burning software you use), what files go into which folder. If that does not work then you have another program associated with iso files such as iso buster or winrar. So right click the mdk iso file and "open with" and browse to Nero, and then do the blank disk as above.
