Check your boot order sequence in the bios and make sure CD/DVD is first.

in boot sequence make sure everything else is disabled except the dvd drive.

Same as above but if that doesn't work unplug pc, pull battery let sit for about five mins and repeat above advice

THANKS FOR THE REPLIES, funny thing with the comp i guess i was putting in the disk before the bios was finished booting, i had to wait till the windows bar (the blue one that moves) to put the disk in and then it booted from cd/dvd. the bios wouldnt let me disable everything it just let me change the order, i have a intel board dx58so, so i anyone has this board and cant boot from cd/dvd wait till the windows load screen then insert the disk and that should work (at that point it asked me if i wanted to boot from cd) thanks all
