in addition to the excellent suggestions above, do you have a computer with
more than one CD-ROM (cd-rom/dvd/cd-writer)
In BIOS, hit enter on the cd-rom in boot order and it will allow you to
choose which cd-rom to boot from. I've seen this on several motherboards and
pretty sure this is an option on yours
