What disk are you trying to boot from? Are you absolutely sure the disk is bootable?

^^^ What Rik said + did you check BIOS settings? Hit F12 at boot and make sure settings are right to boot from optical drive.

Before you change your CD-ROM drive try to just clean the lens by any soft dry peace of cloth. It may just some dirt on it prevent it to read normally.
