If you have a Onetime Boot order prompt on boot, use that and set it for CD drive first. If not, enter BIOS  setup with F2 and set your CD Drive first in the boot order on page 2. Use Alt+P to change pages

In the first link,you can  try starting with these Setup Utility Disks in a Floppy drive, and then switch to the CD when prompted. Get the right set for your version and Service Pack.  The second link is to the video driver

If you are before BIOS version A22 the F2 and F12 do not work.  You should update to a newer BIOS version before installing WIndows.
