Windows AIK problem

My new anti-virus software, ESET NOD32, indicates I can create a
bootable rescue disk, and in order to create that disk, I need to
install Windows AIK.

According to Microsoft's AIK installation instructions, one is
supposed to download the AIK files as an image file, to be burned on
to a CD. Then, one is supposed run the installation from that CD.

After downloading the .iso AIK file to my desktop, when attempting to
burn the file to a CD, I get an "error in copying" message, and the
process will not continue. Clicking "retry" just results in the same
error message.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks!

You need a program like http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to
burn .iso's. It's free.

I have subsequently found that I cannot write any files at all to my
CD/DVD drive.
