    You may need to see if you get a prompt to hit a certain key to boot from the optical drive. For the USB, what does it say?

    Are able to get into the bio's ? Look to see if your CD/DVD is listed .. Then change it to boot first, If that doesn't work, It sounds like it is not being recognize.... You will need to remove the bio's battery for 10 minutes and then try it again.
    Most older laptops cannot boot from USB.. Try another cd/dvd...
