Try this;
Initially you set up to boot frm CD only. Once the setup is complete (or files are copied...) Windows will reboot.. At this point you should press Delete and change the boot setting to "boot from HD" Don't let it reboot from CD anymore, but leave the CD in the computer for completion. Good luck.
