load the CD into windows and examine the files there... if there's several 
directories and files then you've managed to burn the disk correctly, but if 
you only see one ginormous file with a .iso extension, then you burned it 
wrong... for help in burning it correctly with Nero, see here:

If you burned it correctly, then one thing to check is the boot order in your 
BIOS. To successfully boot off the CD you have to have the CD drive BEFORE 
any hard disks or else it will just carry on booting from the hard disk as 
normal.


Hope this helps :)
