As there are hundreds of Linux CDs, it is impossible to provide a comprehensive overview of what, if any, boot options they may provide.

When installing Linux why does it ask for a disk when there is one there already?

The usual method to install a linux type operating system (Ubuntu, for one example) is to first download the program, burn it as an ISO onto a CD, and make the CD drive as the first boot (rather than the hard-drive) by entering the BIOS. Then, with the CD in the drive switch on the computer. You will eventually be offered the choice of running the ubuntu operating system as a live-cd, which doesn't alter any settings or your present OS, as it is run entirely in memory (RAM), or install Linux Ubuntu (either as a dual-boot or do you want it to use the whole of the hard-drive). As to why there is a disc already there? Maybe the BIOS has not been set to make the CD drive the first boot?

How do you switch to windows from Linux when windows is installed and the Linux is runned by inserting CD?

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.
