How to Ask Bios?

How can I make by bios boot from my DVD drive rather than my cd drive?
I've wiped my c drive and my cd drive will not work but I think my dvd will work and boot to my WinXP cd.

Thanks

Some bios have a feature to select different ide drives. Others will check each drive for a bootable disk. If you don't see a selection option for both, just put the disk in the other drive and try it.
