What you will have to do is restart your computer and keep pressing the ESC button. There you will be able to choose where to boot from and that is where you select DVD.

If you see the windows 8 loading screen already, you were to slow and you must try again.

I believe that there is a problem with the CD/DVD media that you are trying to boot with. These media devices are commonly called the Windows Operating System. Remember that your directly boots to your HD because it cannot detect any bootable media from the CD/DVD drive. You have to use the original Windows installation CD/DVD to make this work properly.
