do other bootable disks work? if they do then there is something wrong with the disk, did you burn it as an image? if other disks dont boot, i think it has something to do with your boot preferences and your dvd drive not being high in this list, of course there is the SATA problem which people have, its something about DVD's and computer not recognising them or something, but you will need to research it, i never had the problem so i never looked into it in detail. hope this helps
