Ermm, your problem sound familiar to me ... i had this experience before ... As far as i remember i resolve this issue from BIOS setting there... make sure the boot sequence is correct lo .. MUST boot from CD-ROM. Then u need to check if some setting like Legacy USB is being enable or not ... because i don't know what brand u're using now
