So apparently what you need to do is get into BIOS setup, and change the boot 
device priority order to make DVD and/or USB higher priority than HD. In my 
MSI military class motherboard BIOS it can be done with mouse on the "boot 
device priority bar", which starts just a little bit below the great big 
digital clock top center.
