    No, you use Nero's burn image feature from file menu.

    Try starting a new compilation and choose the CD-ROM (boot) option rather than trying to directly burn the image. After choosing the boot cd-rom option choose image file and browse for the image.

    Sov, do you have direct Internet access or are you on a hardwired/wireless network?

    Hardwired. brought the laptop for wireless, but wireless on that doesn't even work well.
