How do I get my system to boot from an ISO drive on my CD?

Thanks, Dan H

This question does not parse... You are trying to boot from a CD or an
iso file? An iso file is only "bootable" in a virtual environment.
(Xen, VMware, kvm, virtualbox) What are you trying to do?

You left off the lists and replied to me... I put it back in.

If you look at the cd in the drive, do you see lots of stuff, or the iso
file? If so, you did not burn the CD, you copied the file. Are you
trying to burn it from Ubuntu or Windows?
