I recommend to try starting from a floppy disk first. Then check if all you drives are present. I don't know if the DVD drive automatically detects a CD drive on powerup.

If there is nothing to boot from on the DVD drive, it should look for the next one in line, the hard drive.Do you have the OS pre-installed on C drive? If not you may also use a boot disk in A drive and install it.The boot sequence does not really matter but one of the three options has to be met.Good luck.
