well, they said pretty much everyithing. Try to use Adaptec East CD Creator 5+ to burn your MDK CDs or CD-R Win. Those I think are the two progs with the best ISO support. Pop the MDK CDs that you have in the CD-ROM and if it reads them you should be fine. If you don't wanna mess around in your BIOS, or if your machine still won't boot the CD you can make a boot floppy which will work just as well as a CD-ROM, albeit a little slower. Just go into the dosutils folder on the first CD and run rawritewin.exe (the one with the penguin icon) and select images\cdrom.img as the image to WRITE. Then put a floppy in, write the image and boot with the floppy and the first(install) CD in their drives.

i suggest using nero burning ROM in windows (you'll have to find a crack for it though).
Aren't you running Mac OS X to burn you CD anyways?

Burn the ISO using Disk Copy in OSX. At least that's what I did when I d-loaded Madrake 8.0. Worked fine.

But then again this was the Mac version. As far as i know, Disk Copy has no problem recognizing or burning ISO's correctly.

Always check the md5sum before you burn. It can save a lot of headaches.
