Hi,  would someone help me?

The boot section of my BIOS is as follows.  * are the current settings
It currently boots to the Hard Drive even though a DVD is in the DVD drive.

1 Removable Device
  Disabled
  * Legacy Floppy
  LS-120
  ZIP-100
  ATAPI MO

2 ATAPI CD-ROM
  ASUS CD-S500-A
  * SONY DVD RW DRU-5

3 Other Boot Device
  * Disabled
  SCSI Boot Device
  INIT 18 Device (Network)

4 IDE Hard Drive
  Disabled
  * WDC WD300BB-00AUA1
  WDC WD300BB-00AUA1

Plug and Play O/S = No

I was expecting to see a device like DVD-RW and the SONY DVD as the option.

What do I have to do to boot off a DVD I just burnt?
Is something else wrong?
