How to boot from a CD?

[Stop Reading My Name]

I have this CD of Windows XP ultimate eXPerience... but I can't get it to boot from the CD so it can install it? How do I do this? I tried the F8 thing at the load screen but it is not on that list of options.. any help is great http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

Have you set ypour BIOS to boot from CD, Try pressing Del when booting.

Delete doesn't do anything http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

Keep tapping delete as you boot up the comp. You need a ps/2 keyboard though. Not a USB keyboard.

well it's a laptop... so the keyboard is built in :\

Plus I don't really need this anymore... I got windows back on my old computer http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' /> got the stupid person to activate it 2x http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

Okay well just so you know if it happens again contact your local computer repair store because they fixed mine for free and I had the exact same problem!
