    It sounds like your BIOS is set to boot first from the Windows hard drive.
    You need to adjust the BIOS settings.
    The "boot order" (as listed in BIOS) should be:

    first: CD/DVD ROM
    2nd: your Windows hard drive

    Save changes & exit BIOS to re-boot and test it (with the CD in the tray).

      First, you will need to check your computer's bios to see if it set to boot from a cd rom before looking for a hard drive to boot from. Often there are also keystroke options to select what device to boot from. The exact steps vary, but usually involve hitting Delete, or F1 when you first start booting up.

      If that is all set correctly, then follow the steps here:

      to make sure you have burned the cd iso image correctly
      There are also some other helpful links on that page concerning booting from cd and general cd burning as well
