    soybean's advice is correct. You need to watch the screen when it boots and it will say: press ??? to enter bios (or setup). Whatever that key is, that's what you press. Then set the cd / dvd drive as the first boot device in the boot order.

        You put in the disk before you exit the BIOS.
