Vista Business DVD + SATA DVD Burner = Nothing

I'll probably bring the Vista DVD into work tomorrow to see if it happens to any other systems but in a nutshell, I put in the Vista DVD into my DVD Burner drive, restart the system, tell the comp to boot from DVD only and it kindly displays the "No bootable device error". When I eject the Vista DVD and put in the WinXP CD, it boots to the XP format screen up fine.

While I am in XP and put the Vista DVD in, it shows up and asks if I want to upgrade, so I'm pretty sure the Burner's laser is reading the DVD fine.

DVD Burner has latest firmware and so does the motherboard. Has anyone else experienced this?

Stats:
Asus A8N5X NForce4
Samsung SH-S183L SATA DVD Burner
WD SATA 36GB Raptor

Becasue I can boot mine just fine on a PATA drive.

I have the Vista Business from the PowerTogether promotion and mine also seems to be non-bootable. My DVD burner is PATA, don't know if that has anything to do with it.
 
Does anyone know if the vista business key we got from PowerTogether will work on the x64 version of Vista Business?

Try putting the burner on a different sata port.

This guy is probably right.

Also, have you booted any other DVD's with this SATA drive (that you KNOW are bootable)?

Yes.

And my powertogether copy of Business boots in my IDE burner just fine.
