If the .iso is of a bootable CD-ROM all you have to do is write the bits to disk as-is.
The first 1.44 or 2.88 MB of the disk image is basically a DOS-type floppy image that gets booted which then boots the CD-ROM (El Torito format).
Perhaps when you drag&drop the CD software is reading the disk image format (is it FAT?) and remastering, losing the El Torito disk image.
You want something that can explicitly burn a disk image. Perhaps the windows utility can't do that but Nero can? Or you can find someone with linux or a mac to write it for you...
