If you BIOS offered you the option to use CDROM in the boot priority setup 
then your CDROM is bootable.

My experience is that _all_ CDROM drives and BIOS made recently will boot 
from CDROM.  

BTW, I have some old machines with BIOS that do not boot from CDROM.  I can't 
imagine your laptop would be in the same class as these machines (circa 
94/95).

If you want to experiment with Linux without changing your harddrive then 
investigate Knoppix and other one-CD Linux distros.

Make clockwise circles with your right foot. 
Now use your right hand to draw the number "6" in the air.
