What software and what OS did you use to burn it?
It did happend to me before.
Try to look for an oftion to create ISO image when burning. I think that
is what I messed up once when I burned the CD on NERO. Or iin some
software it is an option track at once or something like that, but try
to look for the ISO option first. It should burn an bootable ISO image.
That was the problem I encountered when I did not burn in on Linux.
