You probably need to go into the BIOS and set the CD drive as first boot device. The first text screen after turn on should be the BIOS screen and at the bottom should say "to enter setup, press DEL". Or the correct key could be F8,F10.

You may not have to use the CD's - you may have a recovery partition. |
