Your second image you posed pretty much backs up what you've already checked with SeaTools and the program you ran in a previous post, I don't remember the name exactly, but that's irrelevant.
Error code: 2000-046, the drive has a hardware problem.
Your first image you posted is the proper screen Boot Menu, and choice obviously is CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive.
Don't understand why you can't boot the DVD other than a botched burn.
Did you burn it with ImgBurn? ImgBurn is pretty much bulletproof in burning Windows ISO to disk. I've never had an issue with it.
Even with a failed HDD or for that matter, no drive installed whatsoever, you should still be able to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
I'm assuming you downloaded the ISO from TechBench. I would suggest burning the ISO to another DVD with ImgBurn and make sure the verify option is checked. Yea, DVDs can be defective right out of the box but I doubt that is the issue. As I stated previously, it informs you if you have any configurations incorrect, which you shouldn't if you didn't mess with any settings, and ask you if you would like to (whatever the issue is ImgBurn stated) make a change.
If you have an empty USB flash drive (larger than 4GB) laying around you could burn the ISO to it with Rufus. Never had an issue with Rufus either. Accordingly, when you access the boot menu you would choose the USB as the boot device.
