I changed the BIOS, but laptop still boots Win from HD

I changed the BIOS boot priority on my laptop (Omnibook 4150) to the following priorites: 1) CD-ROM, 2) Floppy, 3) HD. There is no way to remove HD from the list of options. I doubled checked, and my changes were saved.

For some reason the laptop still boots Windows from the HD every time. I even burned a new CD w/o the checksum files to make sure that the ISO file was the first file on the CD. What else can I do?

I'd try

knoppix testcd

in another box. I suspect your burn wasn't successful.

You do not burn the ISO file to the disk you use the option in your burning program to make a bootable disk from an ISO image if you use the correct option you should see a directory structure instead of one big file in windows explorer when you look at the disk.

THANKS!!! I got it to work!
