You should set it up in your bios so that it boot from CD, then when it asks you to press any key to boot from CD the rest is self explanatory really
It will the ask you if you want to format and install new operating system and so on

you will have to press F8 or maybe DEL to enter your bios at the boot screen, then set it to boot from CD first, that will be under boot order or something similar
