Reinstalling XP on Laptop

Hi folks I'm trying to reinstall Xp Pro on my Laptop and I'm trying to boot from the CD but when I reboot the computer it boots from the hard drive instead. I've already changed the boot sequence in the Bios and when I restart the Laptop the DVD/CD drive starts to spin but then just boots normally. Any thing I might be doing wrong? any suggestions?
