Do you have the Bios set to read CDROM, C, SCSI? It sounds like you are
still booting from the main Hard drive. If you don't know how to get in
bios just hold down the delete key when the computer is first booting up
like when it is reading ram, primary master, secondary master etc. Some
motherboards want you to hold down a different key so instead of delete
hit the Pause key on your keyboard and look at the bottom of the screen.
It should tell you down there somewhere to hit "somekey" to enter setup.
Once in bios the configuration for boot up is in the "Bios features
setup". You will see a selection "boot sequence" arrow down to that and
hit the keyboard Plus key (the one next to the Number pad group) and
change the setting to CDROM etc as shown at the begining of this post.
Once you have changed hit esc key and then F10, Y for yes and "enter"
key, the computer will start booting and you should have the CD in.
This should start you into the installation program and your off and
running. Sorry if I have included more info here than you needed but I
couldn't tell from your post if you knew all of the above. Luck, Dennis
