          Okay, since this is a new install let's start at the beginning please. Boot to the OS CD and when the install process starts choose the option to delete the partition. Then recreate the partition and do a FULL format (it will check the disk for errors and repair any it finds). Then go ahead and install and let's see what happens.

              You are not booting to the cd if you get that message.

                Your first post had it right - the cd drive has to be the first device in the bios boot order and the cd itself has to be bootable.
