Actually, what is the advantage to creating an ISO image as opposed to
simply burning the data files to CD?
   

If you want to make a copy of something bootable - say for instance - A
PIRATED MICROSOFT WINDOWS XP PRO CORPORATE EDITION - you can't just copy
the contents to a blank and have it boot. You make and ISO image of the
entire disk, modify what you want to modify in the ISO (add, subtract,
hack) and then burn it and voila! You have a perfectly bootable,
modified, customised bootable CDROM!
Why WOULDN'T you want to make an ISO for archived storage anyways?
