If you downloaded the ISO9660 file, and converted it to a bootable DVD,
the Windows 8 contents should be similar to the following list. These
are the contents you'd see, if viewing the DVD on another computer.
boot --- folder
efi --- folder
sources --- folder
support --- folder
autorun.inf
bootmgr
bootmgr.efi
setup.exe
If instead, you insert the DVD into another computer, and
all it lists is this:
Windows8-ReleasePreview-64bit-English.iso
then all you've done, is "dragged and dropped" the file
onto the DVD. That will not create a bootable DVD, and
will also not properly set up the files.
You need an application like Nero or Imgburn, to convert
the ISO9660 into a bootable DVD.
