I think there might be some confusion here.
If I understand right, by "Sony Sonic CD burner" Chris is referring to
some software package used to burn CD/DVDs. (I couldn't find anything
with that exact name, but Sony does have CD/DVD mastering software
they offer from their purchase of Sonic Foundry).
Chris, it sounds like maybe you're trying to put the Debian installer
image on the disk as a single file on a new data disc, rather than
burning the .iso as a complete image. If that's true, please see
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/
under "How do I record a CD-R under Windows" (which is mostly
applicable to DVDs as well). The first question "What is a CD image
anyway" is also helpful.
