The last haft of Windows 7, Microsoft had companies to set HDD boot first in the Bios. Most companies did as Microsoft wanted. All you have to do is go into Bios and set CD boot first.
From the way I read Jerry's post, he had loaded Linux on the HHD. But did he put grub in the MBR or on the drive. If he had put it on the drive, I think you have to go in and change so things. Don't know what. Windows 8 and on have that pain in ass UEFI boot.

Subject: [LINUX_Newbies] Cannot boot Ubuntu
I have been using Ubuntu for several years on my old computer. I bought a new computer, HP Envy model 700-327c running W7 Pro. It has some hokey new file system. I loaded Ubuntu 14.04 and I can see the new partitions on the HHD. The problem is that I can find no way to boot into Ubuntu. Ideally on power up I would like to be presented with a selection of W7 or Ubuntu and then have the selected boot. Does anyone know how to do this? Please go easy on me as I am not very fluent in Linux. Thanks for any help.
73,
Jerry
