You have the wrong version of iATKOS v1.0i. You most probably have the v1.0i R2, R3 or even v2.0i. Make sure you look for a 2.09GB zip file named 'iATKOS v1.0i' there should be a 2.44GB ISO image file in there.

Someone called Jade Skaggs has found a solution for me. I dont know if it works but he says it worked for him, so just follow this. His name sounds like a girls name, but he aint a girl, he's a boy!. I made this mistake lol.
Solution 1)
Try switching the ATA operation mode in the BIOS menu (This may cause other partitions to be non-bootable)
This worked for Jade Skaggs, but he had it set on AHCI, so he switched it to ATA.
Also if u have the option, try switching it to IDE.
