If this is an original disc & won't boot then it must be damaged. If this is a burned copy of the original then it has to burned as a bootable disc. One other possibility is that you do not have your cd/dvd player set to boot before your Hdd. If not go to Bios and change the boot order. Good luck & Happy New Year
