Two possible reasons:
1. Have you ever touched the CMOZ? There is an option in CMOZ with that you can configure the boot order, CDROM might be configured to boot after hard disk.
2. Usually you need to "Press any key to book from CD" during the startup, did you, by any chance, ignore the message?
Hope this helps. |

It's different on different computers, read the screen carefully after you power on the computer, you should be able to see the instruction.
The instruction will appear only a few seconds after you turn on the computer and disappear very quickly.
Two common keys are "Del" and "F2". So you can try to keep pressing "Del" after power on. |
