For the record, I'm a noob goober too!
Burning the ISO to CD: There are a few options that will enable you to do that correctly. I use K3B, which is a Linux program. (tried Roxio, or whatever it is for windos at work) Since you use a Mac (no need to hit you) I really don't know. If you have any CD burning programs or utilities, poke around and see if they will "write CD image" with an ISO option. You can't just 'copy' the ISO to the CD, it doesn't work like that. The program or utility you use must know what to do with an ISO. Otherwise, you'll just make a neat little plastic drink coaster with a hole in the middle. I've made a few of those myself. Try searching the forums with "mac AND iso" as terms or something. Seems like I saw something like that some where but don't have a mac so I didn't log that file in the gray matter.
On another note, I would suggest using a CD-RW if you can get your hands on them. Even one or two would do you some good. I had about 3 for a while, and that saved me from making even more drink coasters. They cost a little more up front, but in the long run will probably save you a lot of frustration and a little cash since you can erase them and try again.
Good luck on your journey.
I'm hoping someone will welcome you to the R........ before I steal a line.
