We only support genuine Windows install CD/DVDs, or ISO images of same. Most people have no idea how to put together a bootable installer on a CD, so if you go that route then you're on your own. Even if we wanted to help we've no way of knowing what you have.

An ISO is of course just an image of a CD - any CD. Some people have this weird notion that simple copying files onto a CD (or ISO image - same thing) somehow magically creates a bootable installer.

Perhaps you should go back to basics and tell us what your ultimate goal is, instead of asking us to make your chosen solution work. If this is a Physical to Virtual (P2V) migration project then the easiest method is usually to use Disk2VHD. Though, since VHD is actually quite a badly designed format, I would convert the VHD to VDI format before use, using CloneVDI.
