   When you put the CD into your CD-ROM, and let it load, on the DOS mode, you should see a message like, "Press anykey to boot from cd," something like that, if you want to install from CD, then you need to press this, after you done that, then it gives you the blue screen with white word, then follow those instructions, after you copied the files into the partition that you choose, let it restart the system, and do not press anykey, once it give you the message as i said before, "Press anykey to boot from CD" do not press anykey, since you already did, and therefore the cd will recongized what you had install into the hard drive.

   GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!
