Doesn't the laptop boot from the DVD drive? If it's already busy being used for the operating system, it can't be used for input/output.

Add another optical drive. The USB they've already got would probably be OK, as an optical disc is more "inert" than a USB flash drive.

Or, you could probably copy the OS from the initial DVD to a ramdisk, allowing to insert a new disc to load data from.
