You cannot boot from an external USB device unless your
computer has BIOS level support for USB boot devices.
I suspect you'll find that this Acer Aspire 1700 DOES
NOT support this as it's a relatively rare feature
today. If it´s a new box contact the manufacturer's
support & verify this. Maybe they have a BIOS update.
You'll need to be able to "see" your DVD in DOS mode
before the boot/installation can begin.
Sorry,
