Depending on model, there may be a BIOS upgrade you could apply to help matters. Please post your model number.

Thanks.

Check if your BIOS settings (assuming you have such) mention Legacy USB. If so make sure it is enabled. Then check the boot order.

I have solved the problem with a usb_cd.sys this was what I was looking for, now I can load ms-dos and start the cd-rom player. This works fine for me!
