The answer to this question hinges on how -- and how well -- your PC handles booting from CD-ROM.
The quick answer is: go into your BIOS settings (usually under "ADVANCED") and set your "first boot device" to the CD-ROM, then second device as floppy or hard drive (sometimes labeled "IDE-0"), depending upon how you use it...
But there are cases where this isn't practical, including machines that can't be set to boot from CD or machines that take forever to boot from the hard drive when set this way.
In that case, check out Smart Boot Manager at http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/ which provides a small boot-loader that can essentially bypass the BIOS. Let us know if this helps!
