This looks to be a fairly old laptop. Might not have a quick boot menu? I agree, though, even if its set to optical first, eventually it should boot to the hard drive, with a small delay. You never know though if the owner has gone in and set the hard drive as first boot device. I do it all the time. I have the quick boot menu option though.
EDIT: Plus a lot of people don't know about the quick boot option or how to access it.
