XP Setup CD doesnt boot

[A. Abplanalp]

I have a problem with my XP setup CD:

When i try to boot with the CD, it start with the Hardware detection,
then a black screen appears and nothin happens (no error code etc.)

Other bootable CDs work fine (eg Live Linux CDs and others.)

The XP CD works fine on other PCs.
The Problem arrives on both (DVD Reader and DVD Writer Device on that PC)

Any Tipps?

Do you hae one of your DVD drives set as the first boot
device in the bios?

Yes, I have done so.
Otherwise it would not be possible to boot with other bootable CDs, as
it is the Case.
The Microsoft XP CD is the only CD that doesn't work (boot) on this Computer

Are you sure it is really a Microsoft CD?

You need to physically inspect the cd and see if the first piece of
cd is recorded. This is typically on the inside, towards the spindle
(middle). Also check for scratches or soil (fingerprints) in that
area.
