This can happen if the Boot priority in the (Basic Input Output System) BIOS is not configured to boot from CD/DVD as the first boot device, to fix it you need to change the first boot device in BIOS as the CD/DVD drive.
Try to change the boot priority:
To boot to the Boot Priority Window in BIOS follow these steps:
a. Insert the installation disc. And Restart.
NOTE: Modifying BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting
from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.
b. Tap F12 when your computer is restarting. When you get to the boot priority Window select the CD/DVD Drive to the first bootable device and keep the Hard Drive as the Second.
(NOTE: Tapping F12 might not work on all computers. It depends on the make and model of the computer. If you are unable access anything with
F12 then, verify the settings on the very first screen. You should see the keys to access BIOS and to change the Boot Priority, use these keys to access BIOS and make changes. If you are unable to access the BIOS or the Boot Priority
then get in touch with the computer manufacturer for help.)
