Boot From CD

Ok so I have an external hard drive and created and image of my internal hard drive.  In order to restore my image I need to be able to boot from a CD.  Can somebody give me the step by step procedure to boot from a CD?  Keep in mind I have a slot loading CD.

    What software are you using to image?  It will have instructions about how to create the bootable CD.

    I am using the software that came with my Maxtor One Touch 4 Mini.  It is called Safety Drill and it comes with a bootable CD.  I am just not sure how to go about changing the bios and making sure the CD is reading when I have a slot loading drive.

    F2 to get in and change the boot order (or press F12 to manually choose the boot CD).
