First make these checks:

  1. CD/DVD drive is the primary boot source.
  2. Bootable media is not corrupt.
  3. HDDs are properly connected.
Just for installation purposes u can make ur Window's HDD as primary one and Linux one as Secondary but if both the OS are on same HDD then.....do nothing just tell me whats the status of aforementioned tasks. :cool:
