A: The laptop might boot from CD if you tell the computer to check the CD drive first in the boot sequence. Try entering the setup (usually by pressing F2) during the boot process and changing the boot priority. It should say that the hard drive is first, but you want to change it to the CD drive as first. (Don't forget to change it back after you've finished.)
