I did a little google hunting and found out that on my thinkpad f12 will allow you to temporarily change the boot medium. Hit or hold down (I held down since I wasn't sure) f12 at boot and arrow down twice and hit enter and--voil`a!!! You boot from cdrom!!! thanks for the comment about F8; that's what got me thinking it might be possible and sent me searching. -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
