Jump to Postif you have more than 1 drive, make sure you are prioritising the correct one. if it still does not work, maybe the drive is faulty? can you read cd/dvds after the computer is actually booted?

Two option:
1. Upgrade your bios (Be careful to follow instructions as it is dangerous)
2. Use boot Disk to do the Job

I meant the CD Drive. Also, I have set up the priority for cd-rom ahead of the hdd and it didn't work.
I also tried disabling other options and made cd drive to boot from the disk but it did not also work.
Is there any other way to my problem?

What installation disk?
The CD must have boot files to load at startup.

the drive itself was not able to detect the installation disk but detects after the windows boot...

Does this disk boot in another machine?
Does any boot disk work in yours?
Try cleaning the disk.
