When I try to boot my computer up with the disk in nothing happens. when it gets to the point where it would normally ask me to hit a key if i want to boot up from disc the curser just blinks a couple of times and loads the windows edition already installed on the harddrive.

Pentium4 Prescott 640, 3,2 GHz, S775
NEC ND-3520A, DVD-RW, black
Floppydrive Alps 3,5, black
Western digtital 2000JD, 200GB, SATA
Logitech cordless desktop, LX500, B1
Acer 17” AL1715ms TFT silver, 12ms
MSI NX6600GT-TD128E, GF660GT, PCI-
Logitech Z-3 Wood 2,1 / 40 Watt RMS
Antec Solution SLK 1650B-EC
Kingston 1GB DDR2 PC-2400 CL4
Asus P5Ld2

The hardware requirements should be met

I have changed the boot order in the bios

Have you properly connected the drive? Did you make all the appropriate setting in BIOS for boot sequence?

Yes, you must set CD-ROM to before the HDD, in the boot sequence of the BIOS of the mainboard. Then you can continue.

Also, if the install CD/DVD is user recorded, I have run into the problem once that the disc was not bootable, since the quality of the disc was so bad. I had to re-record the disc using a better medium/writer combination; then the disc could be booted properly.
