If you remove the HD from the bootorder and set it to boot from the cd , then if the cd is not bootable then you would get an error like that.

Set it like this:

A: floppie
B: cd/dvd
C: HD
yes i have the hd in bootorder but i cant set it in that order these are my choices

hd,cd,floppy
cd,hd,floppy
hd only

i have a couple more chopices but nothing that i understand
