Angry Answer This Quickly!!!

After restarting windows, which button do I press to boot from the CD (Windows repair thingy).

This is a simple question so don't give me this giant list because I know you only press a button.

Holding the Clt key down while booting will bring up a menu option for running in safe mode, etc.
or
Press Del on start up will put you in Setup mode, where you can alter the boot sequence and make computer look to CD first.

As wlyerly said, it sounds like you need to go into the BIOS to change your boot order. Once you set your CD to boot before your hard drive you will get a message that says "press ANY key to boot from CD..."

So in answer to your question they ONE key you need to press is ANY. Good luck finding it on your keyboard

In future you may want to be a bit more polite in your questioning
