Dave: I hate to suggest this but did you burn an ISO image with the proper XP burning software that does this properly? If not, then the drag'n drop won't read.
So, on my machine I use CopyToDVD (I think) and open the DVD manager. I then drag'n drop the ISO image and the software puts it properly on my machine. Sorry if you've already done this.
