You probably need to re-burn.
Did you select burn from iso in your burner software?
if not try that, and when the location box appears, find that iso file

If you did burn correctly, the CD itself should not have the .iso extension on it. When you work that out, also make sure your boot order in the BIOS has the CD drive before the hard drive.
