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...
To the best of my knowledge (since I've run into this problem before) - the Windows utility can't, and Nero can. EasyCD Creator makes it possible, but difficult to find, I think. Windows just burns the .iso as a file.
I believe Nero has a 30 day trial that you can download, as that's what I remember doing in the past, but it was a year ago, so I could be wrong.
