I have put the vista cd to another pc and it is fine. And, I placed working dvd drive to pc and still same problem. Which means, it is nothing to do with cd or the drive.

when I press f8 I see 1st floppy if I disable floppy or make a second or third choice than I only see Hard drive option to boot it from it. So, no DVD option from f8. If I make ATAPI CDROM as my first choice I still don't see that same option under after I hit f8
