You have not responded (unless I missed it) to my suggestion to try
the option from the BIOS startup screen that will let you choose where
to boot from for this boot only.  That should let you specifically
request to boot from CD.  On mine it says "Press F11 for boot menu"
(YMMV),  Then it gives me a list of devices to choose from.
