the line that was stuck was accesing cd ....

then my CD ROM started making loud Reading Sound. I left it for a while since my cd rom is kinda old its a 16x read, i figure it would take some time. But it didnt, I restart my comp and attempted to boot again, but failed went straight to my Windows.

I got in one more time and accessed the F2 function, but didnt know what to do, so I restarted.
If you only intermittently get a boot screen, then chances are you have a bad burn. That is, either the ISO was bad, the CD was bad, or both. Try downloading a new ISO, verifying the md5sum, and burning a new CD at slow speed, <8x.

Yes, but that's not going to help if the ISO you downloaded and burned to CD is bad.

Let us know how things go.
