I am sure a bunch of people have answered your question already but here goes.  You need to make the iso's into a CD.  Most windows cd software has an option to make disk from iso.  that is what you will want to do.  If you have a working linux install you might be able to get away with mounting the iso images with the loop device.  I don't know though.  It would be tricky and you would need to boot from floppy.
