If you know how to access your Bios (usually press Delete or F1 as the PC boots) the is an option to change the boot order of your drives. It should be listed under Advanced Bios Settings
By setting the DVD/CD drive to be the first device, your PC will boot from that drive if there is a correctly formatted CD in it (IE Win XP cd)

If your computer boots to dos heres what you do
put the CD in to the rom
when the command prompt comes up type
D: `Enter` "D should be the cdrom drive
It shoud now say D:>
If and when it dose then type
setup `Enter`
`Enter` means hit enter 
that should help
Now lets hope it is a dos win XP setup disk:p
