Most of programs to burn CD/DVD's let you make a bootable CD or DVD. - Try Nero in case you don't have any burning software.
You can download a free Nero trial here:

Click on "Downloads" on top.
Also, go to your BIOS settings, and you will have to set it up to boot from CD/DVD, even though most of modern computers will do so already without changing the BIOS anyway.
I hope this help somehow. :)

Usually, newer PCs are all set to do. Put the DVD in and restart your computer. The DVD has to be there when the computer first starts.
If you see a message to "touch a key to boot from CD", or something like "Hit F12 to go to boot menu" - this is what you want. You have to be fast - its only there for 2 or 3 seconds. If windows boots, you missed it.
If you know hot to get to setup (usually the delete or F2 key at boot time), there is an option in there for boot order. It depends on your bios. Look in your computer manual for details on how to do.

You probably need to change your boot order in the BIOS. The key you press to get into BIOS is different for each PC maker.
