I can use the cd drive fine. It just won't boot off cd when started. F9 doesn't work either.

Please try examine first your CD rom, by connection to another computer or insert new cd disce on if the pc is still funtional.
If prove that the CD ROM is not functional maybe you should change the CD ROM.
try also pressing "F9" at first boot you will be directed to the boot selection.
