I've got an old x61 Lenovo Thinkpad. It doesn't have a CD drive itself but I have it in a docking station that has CD drive. I want to boot into Linux System Rescue CD and from there run Daric's Boot And Nuke. When I boot the computer it doesn't boot from the CD and goes to the PGP encryption prompting for the password (which luckily I have). When I enter the password it asks me if I want to boot into "Microsoft Windows XP Professional - Lab V2.0" or "Microsoft Windows Recovery Console". If I chose the first it goes straight to a blue screen of death saying STOP: 0x0000007B. If I choose the Recovery Console it begins to load and shows the progress bar and get's all the way and then shows the blue screen of death. How can I boot from the CD?
In the BIOS I have the boot priority order set to:
