    Try putting the CD in the drive and rebooting the computer. This should boot from the CD and start the install process.

    Do not continue with this until you have saved, in some manner, all the data on the drive you want to keep.

    If you have more specific questions on what to expect as you reinstall Windows, ask again before you start.

    As Pollux said you need to boot to that CD. If that doesn't work. Go into your CMOS setup and make sure the CD is in the boot sequence.

    Here you go - your going to start with step 3, post back if problems, I have a copy of users guide


    1 Restart the system.

    To the instruction "Press <F2> to Enter BIOS" is shown at the bottom
    Of the screen, during POST.

    3 Press <Alt> + <F10> at the same time to enter the recovery process.

    For the message "The system has password protection. Please enter
    000000:" is displayed.

    5 Enter six 0s and continue.

    6 "Acer Self-Configuration Preload" window appears.

    7 Use the arrow keys to scroll through the items (operating system
    Versions) and press "Enter" to select.
    Setup password and exit

    Press "F3" to setup password or press "F5" to exit the system recovery
    Process when "Acer Self-Configuration Preload" window appears.

    If "F3" is pressed, the next screen shows "Please enter new password:"
    Enter one to eight alphanumeric characters. You will be asked to reenter
    Your password for confirmation before continuing.

    The screen will display "Password has been created. Press any key to
    reboot...", hit any key to reboot your system.

    If "F5" is pressed, the recovery process will be terminated and the system
    Will reboot and start normally.

    Important: This feature occupies 2 GB in a hidden partition on your hard drive
