You need to go into your BIOS (Basic Input/Output System), by pressing the button that the computer tells you to when your computer turns on, and give the CD-ROM drive the highest boot priority, so it'll boot from the CD instead of trying to boot from the hard drive.
You should then be able to install Windows Vista from the CD.
