Some of the Dell computers have a Fkey you hit when you 1st turn on the computer to change the boot drive. See if it says that when it boots next to hit this key to go to setup.
Please post the model when you post next.

Try hitting f12 when it 1st starts up and see if you get the option to boot from cd.
