You can't just copy the ISO file to a cd. You have to use CD
burning software which is capable of creating a bootable CD.
Here's an article that provides instruction on creating an
image from your ISO file:

How to successfully burn or write an ISO-image to CD or DVD

I've used this free program successfully:

The easiest way to create a slipstream CD that I have found is to use Nlite
<a free program>. Choose the two options (1) integrate sp2 and (2) create
an iso file. After the iso file is crated, then use your burn software to
burn the iso file. This is generally done from File --> burn from a disk
image.
