Force boot to cd?

I put a cd in and want it to boot to cd but the mandrake menu comes up after a reboot. How can I get it to boot to cd?

Thanks, Tom.

Your systems BIOS handles the boot order of the machine.
When the system is powered on do you get a message to "Press DEL to enter setup" or something simular ?
If so press the required key and look fot boot priority, simply change it to CDROM first and save settings and exit.
