Acer Aspire 5050 Doesn't Give Me Useful Boot Options

My Acer Aspire 5050 doesn't seem to see my DVD drive, and doesn't give me the option to boot from a jump drive. Can I add either of those?

I figured it out!

It appears that you have to change the Boot Mode to "CSM" or "Legacy" instead of "UEFI"

CSM or Legacy selection are for booting Windows 7, and the UEFI selection is for Windows 8,10.

Thanks
