help! can't burn an iso

[wolfhorse]

okay I have tried 2 different files, one from seagate support and 1 from ultimate boot cd. I am trying to burn a bootable dvd from these iso. The isos are both supposed to be bootable, I have tried 2 different burner progs and multiple disks. I have burned a data disk that turned out fine BUT when I burn an image with these isos (the only isos i have burned) the only thing on them are desktop.ini files, one on each disk and NOTHING else and in "my computer" it says the disks are all free space. I have not used the "make bootable" option because one- they are supposed to be bootable images and 2 the progs wouldn't let me add a iso file to it. I have seen this problem posted elsewhere but no answers, anyone have a freaking clue what is up? Been a long time since I burned an iso but I don't remember having any problems. I didn't know where to put this in the forum so i used the general section
Also I watched the burner progs countdown the MBs they were burning and it took a while and the disks look like there is something there but the only thing it shows is that ini file and yes I have looked for hidden files and even hidden files show up as taking up space NOT as free space...HELP!

correction, the data disk is the same, only an ini file

If you told us which 2 "burner programs" you had used.
At the risk of suggesting something you had already tried.....

There are 2 widely used programs.....( I use this one many times and I personally vouch for it. It is also a lot more simple than Imgburn.)
1. Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool

2. Imgburn

******** Most important of all, here is the Official download site for Windows 7 ISO files....

one was burnaware and the other was freeisoburn, not sure why I want a download tool for windows 7 but I'll try image burn as well just seems odd that both progs would do the same weird crap

I apologize.

I had misinterpreted that you were having problem burn a Win 7 iso files to a bootable dvd.

Please disregard what I said.
