2) How to Create a Bootable WipeDrive CD from the ISO file
An ISO file cannot be be burned by 'dragging and dropping' the file onto the CD. ISO files are IMAGE files, and are somewhat like ZIP archives. They contain many smaller files that must be extracted to the CD at time of burn. ISO files also contain the hidden bootable properties to allow you to boot your computer from the CD, and it is required to securely wipe a hard drive.
There are many CD / DVD burning utilities available that can properly burn an ISO file to CD.
