Rafe, this may not be the answer, but I'd try it anyway. Got into the CMOS of the 'puter and make the FIRST bootable device the DVD, if you can. Since it's a USB, you may have to disable the floppy to force the 'puter to see the DVD first.

No on this machine, IBM Thinkpad Transnote, one can never boot from the cdrom. Only the usb floppy - wierd I know.
Early CDROM's were not bootable. I was told this years ago when I wondered why I couldn't boot SuSE 6.1 on an old Fuji laptop. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
