MBR Messing with Boot Priority

[Steel]

So, I've been trying to install either Slax or TinyMe onto a USB Key for the past day or two. Neither one has been booting, I just end up with my mbr screen giving me the choice of XP/Linux. So I decided to try a LiveCD and low and behold - the same thing.

I've changed my BIOS setting twice now to load my CD-ROM before the harddrive, but always the same outcome.
Is there any reason TinyMe's MBR is doing this? Can I fix it?

It's not TinyMe, it's your BIOS.Try physically disconnecting your HD and see if that does the trick.

Okay, Ill try it and post back here once I'm done.

Don't know why my BIOS is acting funny tho. Was working fine last time I tried.

Well, my BIOS keeps switching my boot order, but it boots from a live-cd if i change the bios beforehand.

Guess I'm doing something wrong with the liveUSB, because i can't get it to boot from either my desktop or my girlfriend laptop - both of switch have the ability.
