Not sure what you mean.  Are you trying to boot off the CD?  In which
case it should never get to the grub boot options as it should boot
directly from the CD without accessing the hard disc at all.  Check in
the BIOS to make sure that you have boot from CD as the first option
(or at least above boot from hard disc).
