I am trying to reinstall windows 7, but it keeps downloading back to the main install page?

I have tried so many times. I am doing this because I have a black screen with cursor and no access to f8. Diagnostics test said nothing wrong and I can't even use system restore from the install cd.

    you need to go into the bios and set the boot device order so that the dvd drive is first and hard drive is second, save the changes and exit, then put in the win7 disc and restart the pc with the disc in the drive, when it starts to boot back up it shoulds say press any key to boot from cd, press a key and then follow the instructions for a fresh install
