Reply: (edit)When you turn on your computer at the bottom of the first screen you get there should be a something like "Press X to eneter setup"
where X is the key you need to press. If you can't see it try pressing the pause key on that screen so you have enough time to look for it. Its usually Delete or one of F1.

Reply: (edit)Please bear in mind that some pc's do not allow booting from a cd, only a fdd or hdd. When you eventually get into the bios, the option may not be there. Khash's reply is good, but as he says often the display disappears quickly. Good luck - keep us posted.
