Go here and get the proper uninstaller, http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039

and run the Norton 360 uninstaller. Do not try to uninstall it any other way. If you have already tried it with Add/Remove you may have to install it again and then run the uninstaller.

uninstall active sync and re install and use. it will work

You may find that if you insert a blank CD instead of DVD you have more luck (the image you have created is a CD image not a DVD image). Another tip is that you should not copy the ISO image to CD but using Nero burn image to disk. Let me know if you need more help.
