Re: Newbie trying to install Debian...
I'd recommend you use burnatonce: http://www.burnatonce.com/ to burn the iso to cd since it's free, small, and easy to use :-)

Wrong method of burning.

Also wrong method of burning.
You'll need to tell your burning software to burn an "image" file to CD.
It's likely to be called different things by different burning apps, so
I can't help you any farther. As I recall, the built-in burning
capability of Windows XP itself can't handle burning CD images. If that
is the method you're using, you'll have to find a burning app that's a
bit more powerful.
