I press the ESC (F12 doesn't do anything) key and it comes up with the options you state. I select the CD drive and it just goes to a flashing cursor for over 5 minutes.

How do you know the DVD is booting? Did you get a prompt to "Press Any Key to boot from DVD?"
Unplug all other HD's and peripherals, wipe the HD from the booted DVD: SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
THen the DVD will autostart and you'll have a cleaner slate to work with.

Sorry I don't know the DVD is booting, I can't wipe the HD using ur link as it requires CMD which I can't get too.
