The following works on two Toshibas I have.  Might work for you.

Try the following...

Hold down the ESC key.
Turn on.
When prompted, press F1 to get into the BIOS settings.
One of the BIOS settings allows you to change the boot order.
Set appropriate boot order.
Press "End" to "Exit and save settings" then "Y" to confirm.
Voila.

Hope this helps,
Paul DS.
