Jorge, please try to avoid top posting on this list.  It keeps the
conversation in order if you put your replies *under* the previous
exchanges, making it easier to follow.  Also please trim the old
material judiciously when there is more than about a screen full.

It looks as if you need to go to the BIOS (F2, F10 or Del at boot time:
the boot screen should tell you) and change the "boot order" to CD/DVD
and then hard disk.  Then you should be able to boot from CD.
