You need to burn it explicitly as an ISO image, not save it as a file,
which is normally what drag-and-drop will do.
Pretty much all CD/DVD burning software will do this, but it is not a
common task for most computer users so it may not be easy to find it
among the options. Depending on the configuration of your present OS,
double-clicking on the saved .iso file may open the burning software in
the correct mode.
Keep the disc you made already as a backup of the .iso file, in case
you need to do this again.
