How Do I Use A Boot Disc?

  I just downloaded a program that requires that I use another file that I had to burn to a cd to boot up my pc with.  How do I do that?  I have just put the disk in the top factory-installed drive and nothing seems to happen with it.

You need to be sure that your PC is set up to boot from CD first.

REDSHIFT1

With the computer powered on, insert a bootable CD/DVD into the CD or DVD drive.

Restart the computer.

Press F12 during the first few seconds.

Select the appropriate response to continue.

Option The One-Time Boot Menu appeared when F12 was pressed.

Press the 'down arrow' to highlight CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive.

Press 'Enter'. 

Your computer will now boot to the CD/DVD in the drive.
