yes I have roxio though and every time I try to burn it, it locks up my
computer. I found some software to unpack the iso file but when I burn them
to a cd and try and open the cd it is inaccessible.

Hi.  Do you have a winblows box with a cd burner running something like
adaptech or nero? Just use them to burn a cd using the iso image.
