You have to get to the BIOS to do that.Here is how to get to the BIOS and get your Computer to boot into the CD:

To enter the BIOS is very simple. As soon as you boot up your system rapidly hit the Del or Delete button on your keyboard, and if that doesn't work reboot your computer and this time hit rapidly the F2 Key (At the top) and if that doesn't work reboot again and rapidly hit the F10 Key.

After you get to the BIOS go to "BOOT" and make sure that the CD Drive is at the top, and to do that go down to the top option then hit enter then select the CD Drive.

Also make sure the boot order is like this:

1.CD Drive2.Floppy Drive3.Hard Disk Drive

Then go to the top and go to the right until you get to "EXIT" then go down until you get to Exit (Save Changes) or Save Changes and Exit.Reboot with the CD in the Drive and it should automaticly boot to the CD.

I hope this helped,PSPSlimBoy ☺ :)

You just need a Windows XP installation disk and a licence key. If you have both of those just pop the disk into the CD drive and then boot from CD drive. In order to do this you can either use your BIOS's boot menu or you need to go into BIOS and then switch your boot order to your CD drive first.
