You have to get into your computer's BIOS, also called the Setup on some computers; from here you can define what your hard drives are and other hardware before your OS loads, including changing the boot order to have your computer boot first from CD-Rom, to get the GNU/Linux CD (or DVD) to boot before the hard drive (which has Windows).
When you first turn on your computer, before the OS loads (such as the Windows screen or a GRUB loading screen), there will be some key or key-combo to press to access the BIOS. Usually it is something like the [F12] or [F9] key, or maybe [Del]. It should read the correct key to press on the screen to get into the BIOS or Setup, otherwise just try running your finger across all of the [F#] keys.
Once in the BIOS, look for a setting for your Boot Order or Boot Device or something similar, and move your CD-Rom to the top of this list. Save your settings and the computer should reboot, and if the GNU/Linux .iso file was burned properly, you should then begin to boot into the GNU/Linux CD. Reboot and remove the CD to boot into the hard drive and your Windows setup.
