ISO file burned in nero is unreadable

I have a Dell Diagnostic CD that I extracted to an ISO file using ISOBuster. I then used ISOBuster to extract an individual file I needed to modify. It was a .BAT file, if it makes any difference. After making the necessary modifications to the .BAT file, I then opened the extracted ISO image in MagicISO, deleted the old .BAT file, added my modified version of the file, and then saved the ISO image. I used MagicISO for this because ISObuster apparently does not allow you to add/remove individual files from an ISO image. I then burned the modified ISO image to a CD-R using Nero. The burn process and verification both completed without errors, yet when I tried to read the burnt CD in windows explorer, I received the following error message:

"Windows cannot read from this disk. The disk might be corrupted, or it could be using a format that is not compatible with Windows."

If I browse the burnt CD in ISOBuster or MagicISO, there are no files present. I tried burning this image to one CD-R and three CD-RWs, and received the same error message every time. The drive has no problems reading other discs. The CD-R's are Verbatim, and the CD-RW's are TDK. They aren't TY's, but I've never had a coaster from them before.

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

If I extract the ISO image with WinISO, extract the .BAT file with WinISO, add the .BAT file back to the ISO with WinISO, and burn the ISO image to a CD with WinISO, then everything works fine.

Apparently WinISO isn't fully compatible with Nero and/or Isobuster.
