In the BIOS setup screen there should be some way to set the boot 
order.  make sure the
CD is in the list, and comes before the hard drive.

If that doesn't fix it :

When the system is running whatever is already on the hard drive, see 
what the CD
looks like.  If it has one HUGE file named xxxxx.iso, you didn't copy 
the iso file to
the CD as a bootable image.  You need to use the "burn iso file to CD" 
or similar option
in your CD burning program when doing this, or it will just copy the ISO 
file as an
ordinary Windows file.  You want it to move the iso file to the CD 
verbatim, because
it is an image of a bootable CD file system.
