Burned Windows 7 x64 to a DVD, not able to boot from it.
I set the boot priorities straight, however it doesn't give me the option to "press a button to boot from disk" or whatever.
Any ideas?
Probably burned the wrong version or something. Check the microsoft site for instructions.
Go into your bios and ensure that your pc attempts to boot from disk before booting from harddrive.

He alreaddy set the boot priority's straight. Read before rating dumb.
I've heard there's a way to install windows from a usb drive.
Try disconnecting all your bootable disks except for the cd-drive and see if it boots to the disk then. If it does you probably didn't set your boot priorities correctly. If it doesn't the cd could be burned incorrectly or the cd-drive could be malfunctioning.

I'll give it a shot.
This might be a bit of an overshoot. But are you sure that your DVD-reader is working properly? And, can you try if the disc is able to boot on someone else's computer? If not, it's probably not burned out properly.
Although you may have set the boot order to use CD/DVD Driver some bios have an extra option to and ask if you want CD/DVD boot to even be active
