You wrote the CD the wrong way. You wrote the image to CD as a file, but
you must write it as an CD image. If you do it correctley, you will not
see one file on the CD, but the contents of the image. Depending on the
program you use, you should try to find something like "Write CD from
image file" or "Track image". Please consult the manual of your cd
writing program for further information.
