it depends on the BIOS of the computer of an external CD player is recognised, and if you have a laptop there is also the possibility that you have a "PCCARD" (formerly "PCMCIA") slot, that can be used to add an external CD player, instead of using a USB interface, chances are slightly better for an old laptop that it can boot from a PCCARD drive than from a USB stick or drive.
If the BIOS does not support booting from an USB device, then you have one option left, and that is that it can boot from a floppy. There are floppies that can be used to boot a USB storage device.
