Are you able to boot the machine from the hard disk and if so can you 
then read the CD?  If you can't read the CD you have a hardware problem. 
  If you can then is the machine really set to boot from the CD.  On 
some machines you can select 2 or 3 boot devices in order, try selecting 
the CD for all of them.
