Boot from CD (by 3 users)

when you boot up the notebook, press either F2 or Del, this will get you into the cmos settings, navigate to advanced cmos settings and normally at the top line is the boot sequence which will say HDD, press either up/down keys or + - keys to change to cdrom as first boot device, save settings and exit.

Insert you cd rom before the system boots into windows and the option prompting you to press enter to boot from cd will appear for 30seconds.
