Are you serious?

Stick the CD in the drive.

Go into the BIOS and make sure CD Booting is on (you usually have to change the boot order)

Watch setup run...

That should not matter unless the BIOS is corrupt. If the CD is bootable and the Boot Order in the BIOS is set, it will boot.

If it doesn't:

1- You didn't "press any key to boot from cd..." after the post screen.

2- You didn't set the boot order to boot from the cd

3- Your cd is not bootable

4- Your cd-rom doesn't support bootable cd roms
