1) Hardly ever need to reset the boot order. Use the one time boot option key usually a function key like F12. It's better to boot that way as changing boot order on BIOS that have been without power for a while can give you asset recognition problems requiring default reset just to boot anything.
2) Don't be in such a hurry to DBAN the drive. Newer boxes with proprietary EFIs can be rendereed unusable. Also DBAN is not the most effective way to clean a disk. I never use it. Use corrected dd from a Kali live disk.
3) You are very very unlikely to contract a data infection on a LL live disk for several reasons, not the least of which is that the data is not persistent.
4) Get a Kaspersky live disk to deal with Windows data infections. Very effective for ransomware (which will by the way mess with DBAN)
