Cew27 is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Trying to go to linux

when the system is starting press f2 repeatedly until the bios screen appears, scroll to boot, and set the primary boot device to the cd drive
or
as soon as you start your pc look at the bottom of the screen you should see boot options then a key next to it (i think its f12) once you know what it is turn off and back on and tap that key repeatedly until the boot menu appears, scroll to cd drive and hit enter
