non-system or disk error

Hello there,

I was trying to installl Linux (Debian) into my laptop. I inserted the disk,
rebooted the machine. I get the message, "non-system or disk error. Please replace the
media and press any key." What does this mean? I checked my BIOS already and I have
my CD-ROM asfirst booting device. Is there any way to fix this problem? I am using a laptop
with windows xp pro already installed. Thank you in advance.

Are you completely sure it's a bootable cd?
