what you need to do is go into bios and change the boot order to CDROM first then HDD.
this will then pickup the cd and boot from it when you reboot the computer.

some computers allow you to press f9 on start up to get into a boot meny, thus allowing you to choose cdrom.

when booting up look at the screen, it should tell you which key to press. if your pc has that option. if not you will have to go into bios.

if you don't know your bios, then please reply with your computer/motherboard model

download this file.

its a manual for your laptop.

looking at page 78, it will explain how to recover your pc in this situation.

hope this helps
