Default Trying to run Knoppix on my old XP computer

It won't boot from cd? Someone said to watch the monitor once you turn the computer on and it would say whether to hit the "del" key or the "f2" key to stop the boot. Then you should be able to change where it boots from. It did not work, and I would really love to get Linux on my computer so I can get some practice on it (just started my Linux+ classes).

Thank you for any advice or assistance :)

Is your computer a pre-built machine (dell etc)?
Is your Keyboard USB or PS/2?
