What do you mean by burned it? burned those four files on a dvd, or did you select the iso-file as image to be burned? If you did the former, you just wasted a empty dvd, if you did the latter, then - from your descriton - the image might be bad. check the image with md5sum of sha1sum.
cheers

The file that ends with ".iso" is a CD/DVD image file.
Nero has a special mode for burning images (take a look in the menus).
This is different from burning a data CD/DVD. |

The iso file needs to burned to a CD/DVD _as an image_, not as a file.
The iso.CONTENTS and iso.DIGEST are what their names imply, the
contents lists and digest for the main iso. I shouldn't burn them to
anything; just use them to check the .iso if you need to.
