As the computer first starts up, you need to get into the BIOS and 
change the boot order of the drives to have the CDROM be first. It will 
probably be somewhere in the "advanced" settings. Computers have 
different ways of accessing the BIOS (setup) with the most prevalent 
being to press the delete key (might take several presses to get it at 
the right time) as the computer starts up. Check your manual for the 
correct method if the delete key does not work.

After you are done you will likely want to change the boot order to 
floppy/hard drive/CDROM. There are differing opinions on the preferred 
boot order, but this works for me.
