You will need to change your BIOS boot order to CD before Harddrive. To do this, restart your computer, enter BIOS, and find the configuration settings for Boot Order. This may have a different name, such as boot priority, but you should be able to figure it out. Change it so that CD/DVD appears in front of Harddrive, or anything else that may effect it.
