Go into your Bios/Setup, or Boot Menu, at startup, and change the Boot Order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the Boot Order, then reboot with the disk in the Drive. At startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, to go into Bios/Setup, or F12 for the Boot Menu

If by "reboot" you mean "install a new operating system" there are a few ways to accomplish this.
First, there are a few commands in the DOS prompt which you can use to put a .iso (or a "CD image") file onto a flash drive. If you don't want to bother learning DOS commands, you could probably Google "iso to flash" and come up with links to programs that do that for you.
You can also do this with virtually any other kind of media. A computer can boot from a flash drive, a memory card, a floppy disk, or any other thing which holds information for a computer.
Second, if you are updating to a new operating system, (for example, installing Windows 7 Home Premium over an existing Windows Vista Home Premium) you can simply download a "setup.exe" program from the Microsoft website when you buy it.
Third, you can perform a "network boot" of the computer, which involves setting the computer up on an office style network with a different computer as network administrator. This is a somewhat complex procedure, but it is really cool if you do it right.
This post would be exceedingly long if it included detailed instructions for each of those tasks. So, for the sake of time, if you decide on one you would like to do, you might ask another question to detail that procedure to you.
On the other hand, if you just mean "reboot" by it's "techy" definition, you can simply turn on your computer ("boot") and then turn it off and on again ("reboot") any number of times with or without media in a drive.
