You *can't* simply copy the file to the disk.
You need to use the "rawrite" program from
ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/tools/rawrite2.exe ... it will write the
disk image to the disk in a way that makes the disk bootable.

I'd recommend checking out
http://www.ssc.com/lg/issue15/debian.html#install
for "how to install debian".
