Yes, that makes sense. So what program should I be using that understands as you say, and opens up the ISO file into the multiple files and folders? It sounds like simply copying the ISO file to the hard drive and then back to a DVD would not open up the files and folders. Is there another program that I need to make sure it opens up the file this way?
EDIT: I'd like to update you on what I just did. I put the Win10 .iso DVD in my DVD drive and then clicked on the drive letter "D" where it says, "esd-iso". It also shows "0 bytes free of 3.04GB UDF" It then asked for my permission to make changes to my computer. It claims that it's Microsoft asking for the permission. I click "yes" and then it started doing things. First, a blue window in the middle of the screen that simply said, "Windows". Then it started showing a Progress %. I didn't know what to think of it, but decided I better end the process. Was it trying to reinstall Windows??? I didn't ask it to do that. All I was trying to do was find out what the contents were on the DVD. Well, when the progress was at 20%, I ejected the DVD. Then my computer froze and I couldn't do anything. So I hit the power button to cut the power and did a reboot. Now everything seems to be ok.
At one point, I saw the DVD contents and it showed multiple files and folders instead of a single .iso file. It didn't look like that when I created the disk originally. But I guess it's what I need now, right?
Was it trying to reinstall Windows when I clicked on the disk drive? Is it possible that my computer now has some OS files missing? I stopped it at 20% because I was afraid it was deleting everything on my hard drive and replacing it with a clean install. I'm certainly not ready to be doing that. This computer is just 3 weeks old and running fine, and I'm hoping I didn't just screw it up!
