Code 5 error message

[diazguilbee]

I am trying to install Windows 7 on my computer but I get is this error message:

CDBOOT: Cannot boot from CD - Code: 5

The hard drive is totally clean, formatted and ready. I been able to install the program in other machines without problem. Even, it boots in an old Pentium III, 380Mb old computer that I have for testings.

I tried the installatio connecting the hard drive on other computer capable to run Windows 7 very well, but when I put the hard drive back it does not work neither.

Can somebody have a solution for this?
