If your intent is to just have a copy of the .iso (i presume that is what you're working with) then burning to optical is indeed what you want to do, but it doesn't apply to hard/thumb drives. The term "burning" here applies to optical media only. In any case, the result of selecting the .iso will not be a bootable volume, just a volume with the .iso file on it. You need to mount the .iso on the desktop before you can burn a bootable volume.

For bootable volumes on optical media, double click the .iso file and it should mount on the desktop like any disk image.
Right click the mounted disk image and select "Burn"...

For bootable hard/thumb drives, mount the disk image. Open Disk Utility and click the Restore tab.
Drag the mounted disk image from the desktop to the "Source:" field, and then drag the target hard/thumb drive to the "Destination:" field.
Click the Restore button.

When you are done, "eject" the mounted disk image.

...and, in the interest of keeping this thread at least somewhat relevant to the unix.com forum, "man hdiutil".
