Correct,
Simply copying the files from one meduim to another does not
a bootable CD make !!

The "el torito" bootable area of your cd has to be loaded with the
boot image as well..

SO use a program that will take the "image" buried within the .iso
and burn it to a cdr, duplicating the original master copy precisely.
