What about grub4dos? I haven't used it, but presumably it runs under DOS. Also, you can install grub to a boot floppy and you could try to boot a CD via the floppy with grub. Finally, I don't know how accessible it is and there might be cost involved, but you could look at http://www.bootitng.com/ which is also a boot loader. This is all assuming that you can somehow access DOS or a command prompt in Windows, or somehow you can at least boot a live CD once to make the boot floppy.
