Like the previous posts suggested - first figure out how to get in the BIOS and do so.
What the previous posts didnt mention is that there you have to make sure that your boot order has to be set to something like FLOPPY, CD, HDD - with the CD drive before the harddrive.
Then you insert your OS disk into the CD/DVD drive and boot from it and follow the installation instructions and complete the installation.
You cant boot from "master" (primary harddrive) untill you have a OS installed on it.
