When you say "won't boot", do you mean the BIOS doesn't try to use the CD, or you get some messages and memtest doesn't run?

I tried memtest v4.00 on a T40 and a T400 and it ran first try.

Is your BIOS set to boot from CDs? If it is, does it boot CDs before hard disks? These are all configurable.
