If you have ISO files then these are images of DVD's / CD's. Within Nero there should be an option to burn disc from image. Try that. Or download something like Power ISO and you can mount the ISO image on a virtual drive.

If you're using Nero 6.x or probably 7.x too, then click Recorder -> Burn Image, and choose the file you want to burn. Then insert either a CD or DVD, whatever the image was made for (it'll show in Nero).

Or, to save you having to burn a new disc every time, you can create a virtual DVD drive that acts just like your current disc drive, but isn't really there. One program that does this is daemon tools:
