Attach the external CD/DVD device to a USB port.

Insert the bootable media into that device, but do not close the tray.

Turn the computer off.

Close the tray.

Power-on the computer, and enter BIOS SETUP.

In the "boot" section, change the order of devices to put "USB CDROM" at the top of the list.

Save/Exit from BIOS SETUP.

Your computer should boot from the first device, namely the "USB CDROM".
