Usually if you have a bootable CD in your CD drive it will automatically boot, if not you will need to change your BIOS settings so it boots from CD before attempting to boot from your hard drive.
To do so on start up it says "Press Del to enter setup" so press delete.
It should be in "Boot configuration" or "Advanced BIOS" and there will be options "First boot device" and "Second boot device" and so on, go to first press enter and then click across until it says CD drive. Then go to second and change it to what first used to be.
Tada, save and exit BIOS and on restart you'll boot from the CD if there is one in there.
