Strange boot installation DVD issue

Hi everyone,

i've burned the .iso file in the correct way, but still can't boot from that
DVD on my IBM Thinkpad R40. I know i burned it right because i can correctly
boot with the same Vista Beta 2 DVD on other machine and from Virtual
Machines.

The thing is that i can correctly boot my PC from any other bootable CD/DVD
but not from Vista Beta 2. The boot sequence is correct (otherwise i wouldn't
boot from Windows XP CDROM), i also checked if i have latest BIOS and DVD
drive firmware and they are already up to date.

Waird, considering i could boot with previous Vista DVD with no preblems.

Anyone has an idea what to do next?
