If the BIOS is set to boot to the CD first, then the Hard Drive and it is still not working then you may have to set the time delay (30-60 seconds) on the boot menu screen. This would also be an option in the BIOS. This allows the CD to spin up and be read so the system doesn't boot the hard disk.

you have to enter at startup to the bios setup by pressing the del button on startup in the bios menu you have to choose something like boot menu and then choose your cdrom before your hard drive

Be sure that your system BIOS detected the CDROM drive before you try booting up there.
