Setup and Boot Sequence Issues Revisited

Dear friends:
Sorry to report that the issue may be more complicated.
1) I played around with the $15 Micro keyboard that successfully allowed access to my Setup. I set the boot sequence for the CD Rom and inserted my Win XP Pro OS CD. I then saved the settings and let it boot. It brought up the line about booting from the CD. So, I clicked hoping that this would allow me to bring up the WinXP CD. Instead, I got the same "Click on F1 to retry Setup or Click on F12 for boot menu." When I clicked on these options, I ended up in a loop.
2) I have a DVD player drive (for movies, etc) that is listed as one of the drives (listed as "OFF", volume=Unknown). Options when clicking on it: OFF or n/a. Unfortunately, the boot sequence lists only three options: Floppy, Hard Disk, IDE CD ROM. But NOT the DVD drive.
I was considering buying the latest Linux Format magazine with the FreeBSD DVD, but now it seems that, due to the restrictions of my BIOS, I will not be able to install anything from this DVD into my second hard drive. Is that true?
Thank you all so much.
Benjamin
