> I do not know how to configure the PC to boot from the CD-ROM. Reboot the machine. After the screen goes blank and it beeps, it'll probably count memory and they'll be a note on the screen that says "Press DEL to enter SETUP" or something. Some computers use "CTRL-ALT-F1" instead of delete or whatever. At any rate, hit this key. You should end up in the bios setup menu, at which point there's probably an option for "Boot sequence", likely set to "A:, C:" or "C:, A:", which specifies which drives to try to boot from (in the first example, it tries to boot from your A: drive, and if this fails, tries the C: drive) If there's a "CDROM" setting, select it. Exit the bios, save your settings, and put the CD in the drive, then reboot.
