Hey SG:
To boot off a CD, you have to be able to get into the bios to put the CD drive in front of the hard drive in the boot order. Since Michelle can't get the machine to even power up, what drive it boots off of doesn't matter. It is likely then the problem is the mother board or a component on it, or the power supply (which is still my bet).
