Sorry, I don't think I understand your situation.  Do you already have Debian 
installed on the machine?  If so, why do you want to boot off the CDROM?

There are 4 reasons that I know of why you might not be able to boot off a CD:

1) Your bios doesn't support it  (Have you checked your BIOS?)
2) Your bios isn't set up to boot off the CD (again, check BIOS)
3) faulty CD
4) faulty CDROM drive
