You burned the image to disc and now you need to go into the PC's BIOS to change the Boot Order to start from CD Rom before the Hard drive.
Once you save and exit BIOS it will show on the screen "Press any key to start from CD Rom" otherwise, press nothing and it will start from the hard drive.
You can leave the boot order like that as it causes no problems and is also then set to start from the CD Rom if you need it to in the future. If there is no bootable CD Rom (or bootableDVD) in the drive then you will not be prompted to boot from it.
