Make sure that CD-ROM booting is enabled and before the hard disk in the boot order by check your BIOS Settings.

Note: If your computer can't boot from CDROM (old computers) you need boot from floppy disk by create a DSL Boot Floppy: Here explanation:

Did you burn as a image? If you just copied it to cd that won't work.

The answer is simple: You chose incorrectly a option to create your CD. The option correct that you must choose is:
"Create a new data CD" or "create a CD from an ISO image"
