I've recently burned an ISO image file to a empty disk. However, when I open the disk after it's been burned... it's only showing that same ISO file. Usually I can burn the image to disk and then load it... but it's not working like that for this time. I even downloaded an .ISO burner... but it's still not letting me access the .ISO disk image.

Now that it's burned to a disk... my computer is only saying that the disk is empty, although the size indicator says that there is only 27 mb available of a 700mb disk.

Well, .ISO are bootable files, you have to BOOT that CD. If you just look at the file all you will see is the IMAGE file. You need to BURN as an image file. Then boot the resulting cd.
If you burn it as data it will just show mydata.iso and not be use able.
These are usually operating systems, upgrades etc. So you simply don't "read" them you boot your machine with them.
Hope that helps
Merry Christmas and God Bless

With all likely hood you might have not burned the image to disc, and instead burned the iso file as a file on the disk. In your software use the burn image command and select the iso image to burn.

Careful, did you burn the .iso file to the disk as an .iso file, or did you create an .iso file system on the disk?
You must burn the disk by specifying that you want to burn an 'image' to the disk, not an iso file to the disk.

when you burn it, you have to burn the image. Like in Nero, don't burn a data CD/DVD. Choose Burn Image. Nero will convert the ISO into what should appear on the disc. You could also mount the ISO to a virtual drive using PowerISO or MagicISO
