I'm trying to burn a bootable Citrix program to a disc in ISO form.
What Citrix product is that?

Oh my goodness, my bad. Elastix* And it just will not burn. No explanation.

LOL. I was wondering what was going on over there.

double shot.

Actually if you specifically ask them, you can get an 8 Shot at Starbucks.

There is a quick and easy way to test the ISO file in Windows 8.
Double click the iso and try to mount it. It should mount on a new virtual DVD Drive. If it give you an error about the file being corrupt, try to re-download

Hmm so I've tried your guys suggestions and the server is giving me tons of errors...

Could be a bad iso.
-
May be, I'll try some other sources.

More details please. Did an ISO disk get burned? Did it boot? What errors are you getting?

If you mount the CD in a VM, does it boot ok then?

Good idea, test first the ISO then the CD itself that way.

This alot simpler of an issue than you're all assuming. It's either a bad ISO or the burning program didn't work correctly. When it's booted of the disk, it literally lists thousands of errors. It goes through every folder, subfolder, application, and exstension file and says it's not able to be booted from. So far as I know, I don't have a VM to test it on. I have adecently beefy PC to run one on if that's a suggestion.

Maybe the ISO i really bad. Are you burning a CD, DVD maybe? I have had enough issues with laptops not being able to burn because the drive is buggered, can you try a different Drive to burn with?
-
I am using a wonky drive to burn with, it's some weird branding that's not very popular. I've never had issues burning discs, though, and it should be fine. Unfortunately, the program I'm attempting to burn will not work as a bootable USB, it's got some sort of reader built into the application itself that requires it to be a CD/DVD. I should be extracting the files from the ISO and burning them, correct?

No. An ISO is an image of a file system. You should not be opening or extracting anything. If you do that you are just copying files and not a bootable file system. You have to burn as an image.

With Windows 7 or newer, toss a blank disc in the drive, right-click the ISO, then click on Burn.

Yeah, it's decided it doesn't support ISO's. And the program that it was suggested use (Because Windows is a steaming mess on my PC) automatically extracts it.

Maybe Windows needs to be fixed;)
