Hi shnthigll,

Please follow the steps mentioned below and see if that helps you:

Power on the system and watch for the Dell logo to appear.
When the Dell logo appears, press the <F12> key to load the Boot Menu. If the menu does not appear, restart the system and tap <F12> several times at the Dell logo screen.
When the Boot Menu appears, highlight the CD/DVD drive (listed as "CDROM", "CD/DVD" or "CD/DVD/CD-RW") entry from the list and press <Enter>.

Please reply if you have further queries.
