Make sure that you do not have a corrupted download. The message pretty much says that your "ISO" is not actually an ISO format, it's corrupted. If there is a checksum in the page you download it from, make sure that it matches. Otherwise, try the download again...

Because you didn't make the image correctly. I don't know what you did or didn't do, but the image you created is not a valid ISO image. Maybe you simply copied the contents of the DVD, who knows?

Have you searched for it??? Exactly those terms???
I'm not going to provide you with a link, it's far too easy, even for someone that doesn't know how to search, I'm sorry...
