It is largely dependent on the machine you are using.
Try going into the BIOS of your computer at startup and changing the boot sequence to look at the optical drive before the hard drive. Are you sure the disc is readable, i.e. no scratches or other damage?

Try downloading oldbios.exe (direct download) which will create a bootable floppy disk that forces your BIOS to boot from CD even if it doesn't support it.
