Is the BIOS set to boot from Optical drive ?

Well the blinking cursor indicates that the disc is NOT bootable.

Normally you would get a "press any key to boot from CD" message.

Where did the disc come from ?
Also is the optical drive correct as the newer discs from MS are DVD not CD's..

It's a cd I made myself by mounting an .iso file to the cd so I don't know what's wrong

Sounds like the ISO burn failed.
Check the CD to ensure it has unpacked the ISO image correctly.

I'd start over.

An original install disk?
