She needs to make a boot disk with CD-ROM support. You can download
programs to create such disks at the freepctech web site. Just go to
boot disk section and select the version that you need. However, it is
usually better to boot from the CD-ROM itself if the computer supports
this mode. This is done by a configuration setting in the CMOS through
the BIOS. In any case, if you do boot the floppy, the command would
likely be D:\SETUP
