Possible options
Check the online manual with IBM to see if you need to hit any special keys to 
drop into a boot selection menu.
Some IBM laptops had a CD firmware upgrade and a bios upgrade to deal with 
problems like this. Check out their support website with Levono and see if 
any of these upgrades apply to this machine.
