Unable to boot from cd

[fiorenze]

In my case,after BIOS,the grub loading stage 1.5 appears without giving the option from the live cd

i have ubuntu as my single OS in my laptop,and now i want to make a dual os with xp.

i have set cdrom as the primary device for boot in my BIOS,but it doesnt have any effect,the grub loader stage 1.5 keeps appearing after BIOS.

what should i do?

:confused: Grub doesn't normally give an option to boot from the Live CD, it will point to what's installed on your hard drive.

Edit: re-reads original post. Could be a bad burn.

i have tried 3 CDs

ubuntu 9.04 from ShipIt
my 4x burn speed Linux Mint with md5sum checked
and a windows xp cd

and those three failed to boot
