Boot from CD

Hello

I have a Windows 7 disc which I'm going to install. My mate tells me to set the machine up to boot from the CD when I switch it on, but I can't remember how to do it...

Thx

Ist screen tells you which key to use to access SETUP, generally the DEL or a "F" key. Press it then in your SETUP find where you can set the boot priority and set CDROM as the 1st, save and exit.

Also some PC's 1st screen will tell you to press (usually a "F") key to access the boot menu, where you can then select the cdrom to boot from. Of course have the CD/DVD inserted.
