you usually dont have to change the boot order to boot from a cd. the bios should check the cd rom before booting from the hdd. However, if that isnt the case, you can always change the boot order. go to the bios settings while u turn your laptop on. (It should be "esc" for HP. a message will be displayed at the bottom of the screen indicating the key. if not, try esc, f10, f11, f12. either one of them should work). go to the boot order settings (May have a different name- boot settings/ boot priority settings/ advance boot options etc.).

check the bios setting or check it by some external keypad
