Bootable CDs are activated by placing the CD in the CD drive, powering the computer down, a then powering the computer back on (cold boot). The power on boot usually follows a sequence of 1) check floppy drive for bootable disk, 2) check CD drive for bootable CD, and then 3) boot from designated hard drive.
