Answer 1

You have to reboot your machine and then hit F12 to set the CD drive as the primary boot drive.

Where did you get the CD? It has to be a bootable .iso also.

Answer 2

Carefully follow the below.
When the computer starts, press DEL or F2(depends on your computer) to enter the BIOS SETUP.
There are several menus. Go to Advanced Bios features or the BOOT section in the menu.
Change the first boot device to CD ROM. Then insert the linux cd and restart the system. It should boot!

1.
You should print these instructions before continuing. They will not be available after you shut your computer down in step 2.

2.
Click Start and then click Shut Down.

3.
In the drop-down list of the Shut Down Windows dialog box, click Restart, and then click OK.

4.
As your computer restarts but before Windows launches, press F8.
On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press F8 when the boot menu appears.

5.
Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate safe mode option, and then press ENTER.

6.
If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that you need to access using the arrow keys, and then press ENTER.
