wmorri has the right idea.
Make sure the CDROM is set to be the first boot device in the BIOS. With the CD in the drive, boot your computer and look for a prompt saying "Press any key to boot to CDROM".
+1 more for the same idea. Your hdd naturally boots before your CD, so if you don't go into your BIOS and tell it to boot from the CD first, it will never boot from the CD before your HDD. Meaning you'll never boot from the CD. I believe you can also press f8 on startup to access the 'Windows Advanced Options' menu and choose which device to boot from. This way you don't have to go back into your bios later and change the boot sequence twice.
