It looks like part of the message is missing, but I'll take a shot: 

Can you get to the BIOS settings and check that the computer is actually
set up to boot off the CD? Mine has an order to try to boot from, 
which I generally have as hard drive first, but when I am installing
on a new computer I have to remember to set it to try to boot off the 
CD first.
