Won't boot from Linux CD (98se system)

I am trying to set up a dual boot system on an old pc I've got with Windows 98se installed, by installing the latest Ubuntu Linux 7.04 version alongside the 98se.

However, I'm having a problem whereby the pc won't boot from the CD. I've got the boot sequence in BIOS set to Floppy, then CD, then Hard Disk, but when I reboot the pc with the CD in the drive, the boot sequence gets to

Searching for Boot Record from floppy..Not Found
Searching for Boot Record from CDROM..

and then it just hangs.

There's nothing wrong with the CD, because when I try this on my other pc with XP installed, it works perfectly.

Any ideas?

Cheers
