  • Have you checked your boot order in your BIOS (press an F key during boot up to enter... there'll be a message on screen telling you how) It's not impossible the ordered excludes booting from optical media

  • When you burned the DvD did you burn the .iso file as Data or as a Image? You have to burn it as a Image for it to work.

Verify the MD5SUM of ISO file. Look this:

Or you can try booting from USB. ;) (If your BIOS have support!)
