Go in the BIOS and change the boot order so that the computer is set to
boot to the CD drive before the hard drive. To access the BIOS you have
to press a certain key just when the computer is starting to boot,
usually when the computer is starting to boot there is a message on the
screen telling you which key to press to enter the BIOS or Setup.
Common keys are F1, F2 or Delete.
