Insert the CD then reboot. While the system is booting, hit the F12 key to access the boot menu (this could be a different key depending on your system. From the boot menu, (it should say something like BOOT FROM...) select the option that says something like..CD-ROM/IDE device...

Then follow the prompts....

Another way to boot from a CD is to change the BOOT SEQUENCE in the SYSTEM SETUP...
