Glenn,

You've probably already done this, but just in case - double-check that
you've selected the CD drive as a boot device in your BIOS setup, and
that it comes before your hard disk in the list of boot devices.

In case you don't know how to do this (I apologize if this is redundant)
when you boot your computer, press whatever key it tells you to press
(usually "Delete" or "F1") to interrupt the boot process and go into the
BIOS setup program. In the BIOS setup program hunt around until you find
the boot sequence menu. It may be buried under one or more layers of
submenus, and the wording might be a little different.
