You need to go into your bios before windows begins to load. I am not sure which key it is on a Dell, but it should tell you on the first screen you see when you first power on your computer. If it doesn’t, just start hitting the first few f keys until you are in.
Once you are in the BIOS, you need to go in and tell it to boot from CD first and hard drive second.
Then next time you start your computer, it will look at your cd drive for a bootable cd, if there isn’t one there…it will begin booting from your hard drive.
If this question helps you with your question. Please rate it as your best answer.
Thanks!

1. If you are able to boot into Windows follow these steps else go to step 2:
Insert the Windows bootable CD in the CD drive while pressing the Shift button on the keyboard. This will prevent the CD auto-run function. You will first need to reboot your system and go to step 2.
2. While booting, keep pressing F2 or F8 for a Windows system. This will allow you to access the BIOS settings. Check for an option of boot sequence. Select something that allows the CD-ROM to boot first (probably you can cycle through a list like CD-ROM, HDD, Floppy Drive). Ensure that the CD-ROM is the first booting device.
3. Assuming that you have plaved the CD in the drive, your PC will boot from the CD.

The delete button gets you into the BIOS screen, keep pressing it during boot up until it pops up. Go to configuration and change the first boot up sequence to your optical drive. Save with F10 then restart, the cd should start right up.
