HP DV8 does not boot ubuntu from CD or USB

[Jorge Gusmao]

Hi,

With the Ububtu installed here at work I tried yesterday to give it a first
spin at home.
Burned 10.10 with imgburn, and fired up my dv8 hp pavillion.
The thing is that it goes directly no windows welcome screen. I checked the
boot configuration in bios (1-cd 2-usb-3-hd)
Then I tried run it from usb drive because I burned the image on  dvd disk,
not cd and was wandering if that could be the cause. Same result.
Could this be caused by some kind of sick  protection from hp engineering
team?

I never had this kind of behaviour before, a boot cd is a boot cd...

Thanks
