make sure your media is readable. most dvds can read cd-rw and dvd media I dont' know off the top of my head so do a search for it. second you don't just put the iso on the cd as data an ISO is an image of a cd. you need to use soemthing like nero and there is an option in nero to burn a CD from an ISO. that is what you use. I havn't done the ISO way yet but that is how you normally burn an ISO (unless xodus has a different reason for it) good luck I hope I explained that ok

get it in the usual places (see tuts on xs)
the either ftp this to your box or burn it to cd/dvd and then select launch menu from xos and add new item, select flash, select drive where bios is, etc, etc

this new launch item is your key to getting into your normal dashboard

use instant boot/quick boot to allow u to bypass xos and boot directly to this bios
select bios as default and what not (read other tuts-I'm feeling lazy now)
pressing eject will boot xos if u use above

ok let me just expan a little just to make sure you are understanding me. Sorry if it's insulting some people don't have alot of experience with burning cds.

you arn't really putting anyfiles onto the cd you are buring an ISO the iso will unpack the files ontot he cd on it's own for you.

In nero you get a make new cd menu that says create ISO cd or something like that (that is for creating a new ISO) don't use that. close that window down and in the menu somewhere there is an option that says create cd from ISO (maybe create from image) . after you click it it will ask you to select the iso. after you select it, it comes right to the burn screen. again sorry if you knew this already.

The way you phrased your origninal question about putting files on the dvd lead me to this.

what GuyBrush said. the xenium os is not a bios. so you don't add it to launch item. when doing the HDD method you put the recovery.bin file on E then you hit the recovery option on the main menu. this will start the process.

also there have been some problems with the xenium ftp where it doesn't transfer correctly and the bin file fails. so ftp it with an alternative method. i like I used samba and it worked fine.

oh yeah on a 1.6 unlock you HD.
