The most likely reasons are (a) you created a media with a single file which is 
the ISO, rather than burning the image (Windows software needs to be told to 
burn an image as-is, some won't), or (b) you burned a CD image on a DVD, which 
works with some systems and not others. Don't ask why, some burners burn it 
right, some BIOS read it right, some people spend time arguing that "it should 
work," but others just avoid doing that. Some people have hardware which works 
that way and claim "it works for me" means it's good, reliable, portable practice.

Very high probability one of those two things is your problem, I lean toward not 
having burned the image, but I would check both.
