You burned the ISO, or you mounted the image, right? if you mounted it, unmount, and remount it. Your virtual drive (F: I think) needs to show all files when opened by explorer. If you did burn it to a DVD, maybe its corrupt, burn it on another DVD. And check the file size to see if the ISO downloaded correctly.

Did the download complete correctly? Check the file size on MS's website, and the one which you downloaded.
