The ISO image needs to be burned to as CD. Use NERO or another CD burning app, and select "burn image" or a similar function from the menu. Then select the ISO image you need to put on the CD. Burn the image to CD, boot the machine from the CD, and you should go into the install program

Hi,
What you downloaded is only one of the 3 ISO files that you need to install LINUX on your PC. But first, those ISO files also needed to be burned unto 3 CDs. You use CD Creator apps to burn those CD's and in a way, the files written to the CD are already expanded.
The first CD is a bootable CD, which means you have to set your PC BIOS to recognize and boot from your CD drive
Good Luck
