Can't boot from Windows 8 disc

[Larrs888]

Hello,

I'm trying to install the Windows 8 release preview and I can't get my PC to boot from the DVD. I once the disc is inserted I restart my PC and it detects that there is a disc to boot from and says press any key to boot from disc. No matter what key I press it won't boot from the disc.

In my bios the boot sequence has the disc drive as the 1st priority. I have burnt the disc image 3 times and still no luck.

I was thinking that maybe my keyboard wasn't working but I can access the bios by hitting the delete key on initial power up.

Can anyone offer me some advice please?


Thanks

I have tried it using the consumer and the release preview on two different types of disc. Granted both are quite old. The ISO is fine as I installed it successfully onto a virtual machine.

I'd quite like to try and run it natively if possible however. I'll try another keyboard if I can find one and try and get a new pack of DVDs or buy a bigger flash drive and try and load it off that.

Cheers
