Need Help can't make BackTrack bootable CD

[zagor00]

Hello,
I downloaded backtrack bt2final.iso, and burn it as image file...
but on CD I'w got only 2 folders... one is boot(5mb) and other BT(684mb)...
so what is missing for me to create a bootable CD...
I'm starting to learn linux... and any help would be welcomed...

thanks in advance!

Here's another HowTo with checksum instructions for Windows:

Using Md5sums

The HowTo is for OpenOffice, but it'll work for other files.
