Obvious questions; sorry.  I just tried inserting a blank CD-R disk when 
I had a DVD-sized .iso and the results were similar to what you 
describe.  How big is the image?  Is it known to be good?

Perhaps being paranoid, I use the burn-and-verify option, and when I 
create the .iso files I use implantisomd5 as well; but if you still 
can't see the disk that won't help :-(
