For problems like this, I like the oldbios boot disk. You can get it
from http://oldfiles.org.uk/powerload/bootdisk.htm - it lets you
boot from a CD/DVD when your BIOS does not support it. It also works
when you have more then one CD/DVD drive, and the BIOS will not boot
from a CD when you have more then one drive.
