There's two possible reasons:

a) your BIOS doesn't activate your USB keyboard before entering Windows so that your key presses are not captured since the keyboard isn't active yet

b) you got a bad CD/DVD and while your BIOS may detect it as a bootable CD/DVD, once it reads it, it may decide it's not bootable anyway and continue to Windows XP.
