The first thing that i would suspect is that the cd file is bad. I have also 
seen this when its burnt on an older cd-writer and the new laser will not 
read the old burnt cd.

First up is the cdrom and eth0 seen in dmesg ? If not what does dmesg say 
about them ? How can you run motherboard diagnostics which are for windows in 
linux, even if it is lindows.

Why suspect the motherboard when you say its detected in bios ? and also seen 
in  XP but not read.
