Not necessarily.  Have any other bootable CD's?  I have many older machines
that will bot from some CDs, not others.  I have some CDROM DRIVES that
will allow booting from only very old CDs.  there are newer ISO file systems
that the older drives and BIOSs will not recognize.  That is why Red Hat and
other older Linux distros came with a boot floppy.  The BDI disk may also
have a file (readable by a Windows machine) that can be used to create a
boot floppy.
