Usually as soon as you turn on the computer you hit "Del" key. If its a new computer watch the BIOS screen it should say something about hit some key to enter bios. Then change the Boot order in the menu so CDRom is before the hdd.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
