I would advise the OP to start from the basics.
He doesn't seem to know what kind of a DVD drive he has. This has been asked many times but no answer. ( or have I missed something? )
OP has to download VSO Inspector VSO Inspector: free CD, DVD and Blu-ray scanning reporting tool for testing your medias and burners and post a screenshot showing device features.
Rest later.:)
Hi Britton30,
You should reiterate your instructions for "Copy CD to CD". This is exactly what the OP needs (if she can't find the download method viable). A quick guide for ISO Recorder with screenshots might just be able to help her.
Just to confirm, I have also successfully backed up my own Windows 7 Professional OEM disc with ISO Recorder, disc-to-disc copy. Tested bootable. :)

First install Iso Recorder by Alex Feinman.
InformationYour ODD may speed up or stop at times during the process, it is normal, don't eject until done.
Ok, here goes. Put the w7 disk in the ODD (optical disk drive) close the Install Now window.
Open Computer, right click the ODD with the disk.
The Recorder window will open, adjust as shown below.
When you click Next it will start copying, which is making an .iso file of the disk's contents in a temp directory.
Give it a few minutes to finish, it's nearly 4GB.
You will get this after the copy is done, eject the disk and place a new, blank DVD/R disk in the ODD and close it, click OK, it may take a few moments for it to recognize the disk, keep trying . Recording will start and will also take some time.
Now it's all done and you have an exact copy of the original disk.
OK. Be it so :). Let the OP confirm that that it can write DVD+R from the VSO Inspector. Let the OP also check what Media ID is that of of the DVD+R is by clicking on the Media Tab. For sure I would advise the OP to buy a good branded DVD-RW ( like JVC/Verbatim/Taiyo Yuden etc.,)and try burning the ISO.
I am of the opinion that once media compatibility is ensured writing the ISO to the media should not be a problem with any of the burning software be it Windows Native Image Burner/ISO Recorder/ or anything else.
And I do remember that we always started our first writes with a rewritable disk and also a simulated burn.
