Some BIOS's will only allow booting from the primary device on an IDE cable.
That is, some machines have 2 IDE cables inside. The HDD is the primary device
on one, and the CD is the primary device on the other.
If your motherboard has the second IDE cable, then try configuring your CD drive
as a primary device (that is MASTER not SLAVE) and hook it up to the
second IDE cable. As opposed to being the SLAVE on the primary cable.

Of course, if your HDD is SATA then this is a little different.

This quirk generally only affects older motherboards...
