How do I boot my computer using a bootable cd? Do I have to restart my computer then insert the cd and it will automatically boot? Thanks.

I presume you're talking about bootable CD with an OS (operating system) on it...
If so, be sure that your PC is set to boot from CDROM (by going in BIOS and set the CDROM as primary boot device).
Then put the CD into the CDROM and follow the on-screen instructions.

P.S. It was so hard or you were not so sure about the steps :confused:
Because, if your BIOS it's set already to boot on CD, i thought you'd figured out by now :weedman:
Cheers!

I plan to buy a new CPU but it doesn't have OS. I want to install an OS using the bootable CD. Can you give me a step-by-step instruction, please? I'm new in this. And how do I get to BIOS? Your help is very much appreciated.
