What disk are you trying to boot from? Are you absolutely sure the disk is bootable?

What disk are you trying to boot from? Are you absolutely sure the disk is bootable?

^^^ What Rik said + did you check BIOS settings? Hit F12 at boot and make sure settings are right to boot from optical drive.

Before you change your CD-ROM drive try to just clean the lens by any soft dry peace of cloth. It may just some dirt on it prevent it to read normally.
