It looks like your machine isn't set to boot from cd. the boot order I 
prefer to use is floppy then cd then hard disk then any other stuff 
that may be listed such as network.

When I boot up my laptop with CD 1 in the CD-ROM drive, the CD spins up, but as far as I can ascertain the Linux boot screen does not appear. Instead, my computer boots right up into Windows. My guess is that the BIOS needs to be set, but I'm not entirely certain if this is the case. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate them.
