One frequent error is burning the ISO file to the CD, rather than
burning a CD from the ISO image.  If you look at the CD on a windows
machine, do you see a single .iso file, or a bunch of files.  If the
former, try burning again with the correct options (depends on the
burning software).  If the latter, see if your BIOS is set to boot from
the CD.
