Are you using a CD-RW or CD-R ?
Is your PC friendly with the type of media you are burning to?
scci ?
ide ?
Did you check the md5sum, or does Nero do that automagically?
Can you try the CD in a different PC?
What kind of system are you trying it on?
Why 7.2 something?
etc?

You must have clicked on the wrong button in nero.

You should NOT see the *.iso file on your freshly burned CD-R disk when you view it.

Try burning the disk by one of these two methods (depends on the version of Nero):

Cancel out of any nero wizards.
From the top menu, choose  File-> Burn Image
or
Recorder -> Burn Image

Or if you really like the wizards, choose "Burn an image file" as your wizard.

you might have to go into your bios and change the boot order

when your compy is just starting up push f2 or del or whatever it says or mash on the keyboard until something comes up

then find something like boot order or boot device, and
make it check the CD first, then the flppy then the hard drive, or whatever order you want

also I can never boot off my cd burner if I have a non burner drive.  so try putting it in the cdrom
