so...im trying to figure out how to install from a disk, but im not sure if my friend did it the right way...the contents of the disc are an ISO File and a Text Document. what exactly am i supposed to do with the iso file? did he not burn it the right way?

you need to burn an ISO file with a program like roxio or magic ISO
Edit: I think you can use nero but I never did bfore

if you have nero just copy the iso to the desktop and double click it nero will come up and ask you if you want to burn it put in a blank dvd and select burn.

im pretty sure thats what he used...but when i go to use the disc nothing happens. im just stuck with the .iso as if it were burned as data and not the image...

If you have Nero, load up Nero Burning Rom, bring up the ISO file, click the Recorder Tab at the top and pick Burn Image

with Magic ISO Maker, it is possible to extract the contents of the ISO without actually burning it to a disc. You do need to pay for the program, but the free demo version will extract data from an .iso but not create an .iso bigger than 300MB. This is useful when downloading programs using Azureus

Just use Daemon tools to mount the ISO file and you are on your way.
