That is true but I still find it strange that he is unable to boot from the DVD. It appears to be burned correctly. I am thinking maybe he should download a liveCD of some sort. Something like Knoppix or even the bootable memtest disk. Just to make 100% sure that there is not an issue with the image. Actually an windows install disk would be better as we know it has been prepared correctly.
Every motherboard I have owned will display a blinking cursor when pointed to boot from device thats not bootable. Though the dozen mobos that I have experience with does not quite put a dent into whats out there so maybe im wrong to say this.

You can use this to install a bootloader to your external drive.
