Default Bootable optical drive question

We have a Sony DRU-720A (latest firmware JY08) DVD-RW on a Windows XP Pro
SP3 Intel P4 1.8GHz 2GB RAM 250GB HDD machine.

It is set to be the first boot drive in BIOS.

We noticed that some bootable discs do not work on this unit though they
boot on other PCs. But other discs do boot up as expected.

'Non-booting' examples are Window 7 and Ubuntu 9. They work perfectly
elsewhere.

Could a drive have an issue like this? It does not have any other 'problem'
that we found. Unfortunately, the warranty period is over.

Regards and TIA for any insights.
