My rig that I built last year has a SATA CD/DVD burner and it boots Gentoo CDs, Knoppix, systemrescue and another that I can't recall. Knotix (?) or something. It should work. You may want to try systemrescue if you haven't already. I'd figure this out before something happens and you have to boot something to fix it.
