I had machine/cd like that ...
It was one set in particular that wouldn't work.

Advise : re-burn the images, or get someone to.

I had a problem similar to that when I tried using an DVD of Mandrake I got off a magazine, it just wouldnt pick up and boot.

some bioses don't like booting off cd's/dvd's, you could try a 'smart boot manager' floppy disk and force it load the cd
