I'd be surprised that a PC that fast was built before booting from
CD-ROMs was a supported feature.

What have you done to try and boot from the CD?

Have you gone through the BIOS and looked for boot options?  Perhaps a
different CD drive will work better?  (Boot drive order, configuring IDE
ports to recognise that a CD is connected to one, etc.)

Have you burnt the disc in a manner that it can be booted from?  (Try it
on another PC, you can boot it without upsetting anything on the hard
drive, simply don't start installing.)
