Not sure what is the issue, but you can access the boot menu by tapping (repeatedly) the F8 or F11 key just before the Windows loading screen appears. Some boards respond to one, some the other. See if the optical drive is available for booting. I presume the drive is connected SATA.

The optical drive isn't listed in the boot menu? But it is listed in BIOS? Odd. Try swapping the HDD and the optical drive's SATA ports. Maybe one of those SATA ports is dead. Or maybe the drive is.
