Ok. No wait! I didn't mean ok to put the disk in the drive - just okay as in good.
At the top of the screen you should see "Boot" or "Boot Sequence". Use the arrow buttons to highlight it and then press enter. Use the up and down arrows to move through the list, press the space bar to enable or disable. Disable everything except the CD/DVD drive and the hard drive. Use the + and - buttons to move the CD/DVD drive to the top of the list.
F10 to save and exit - agree with the okay to exit. The computer should reboot.
You can insert the OS disk now. Reboot. It may ask you if you want to boot from the CD. Normally press any key. Follow along the prompts to either try to repair or restore. Just don't allow it to format, i.e. reinstall the OS. So read carefully.
And oh yeah - it could take a while for the repair or restore so just let it do it's thing.
