You didn 't burn the CDs correctly. The .iso files are exact images of
the CDs and you don 't need WinImage to use them. Your burning software
should have an option to "burn a CD from an image file " or something to
that effect. Select that option and specify the .iso file as the
source. Don 't bother with WinImage.
Instructions for using some of the more popular Windows CD burning
software can be found at:
