You're not very clear in what your asking... Well, if it came with a restore CD, it obviously SHOULD boot from it so trying to update the bios would be a waste of time... I'd check the drive itself, or the disk. Make sure they are still good.

Nothing is wrong with the BIOS unless it somehow got corrupted which it doesn't sound like. Phoenix is a known BIOS brand and isn't "rare". If you're having trouble booting from CD or HDD then you should 1. Check the boot order in the BIOS, 2. Reset the BIOS via jumper and battery pull and 3. check to make sure (like Other_One said) that both drives are still working correctly. I.E. Slaving the HDD in another comp and slaving the CD drive in another comp and see if it will read a disc.
