Any prob with BIOS boot sequence? Is you MoBo battery ok? Has it reverted to default factory settings due to battery?

Also, as Vishal said, check it in some other comp or check some other bootable CD/DVD in this comp.

Scratches? Dust? Check for them and if there's dust clean it with a soft cloth. Don't apply any pressure, don't move in circles! Move the cloth from center to the outer edge.

sorry buddy..but it has no scratch as it is brand new just ran it 5-6 times and has burned it 2days before..

and also if it is booting in virtual pc 2004 then why it is not booting in my original drive(s)
