It may be your medium you are using. I have had trouble with certain brands in the past not producing a satisfactory .ISO.

Try using a USB stick to boot from.

+1 to the bad disc possibility, and +2 to the 'try USB' option.

Also, if you burn the disc again, make sure it is 'Finalized' (that is, session is 'closed' after burning the data).

If you want to try burning again in MS Windows, look for ImgBurn. It's a free download and does a great job of burning optical disks from image files.
