You aren't trying to boot the CD-ROM, because it isn't bootable. Is it some sort of "upgrade" disc? I don't understand what your goal is. Is D: a CD-ROM reader? I'm beginning to wonder whether your question has anything to do with Linux, and not just a question about how to install Windows. Is the problem that your machine's BIOS doesn't know how to boot from a CD-ROM? If so, then may I suggest you use Smart Boot Manager? http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Smart_Boot_Manager I've used it for years, and find it quite adequate for my needs.
