In terms of a relatively standard install from a CD- that is booting from a CD or DVD Rom , the steps would be as follows:

First of all this process of booting from a CD Rom is probably the best as well as overall simplest option available.   If you do have a IDE or Sata CD-Rom first change the boot order of the startup to handle this.  Go into your bios setup .  Chose the CD Rom as the first boot device in the boot up sequence.

To enter the bios , note on the initial startup screen the key choices or strokes to “enter the bios”  or “enter the control panel”.   With today’s fast computers this may flash by you in a whiz and may have to be repeated several times.   It is usually the delete key.  Other choices include the <F2> . <F10> or >F12> keys alone or in sequence.   Be careful not to initiate a windows reoovery process by this means , although if you are doing a full hard drive Linux install this will not be of concern.  If you cannot determine what the keystroke or keystroke combination to enter your brand or model of bios – then Google “commands to enter bios”, “Commands to enter bios of your model”  , “How to get into the bios”  and “how to get into the bios of model x”  or even “I cannot get into my bios….model”.  At the worst take out a piece of hardware such as a ram stick , or disconnect a piece of hardware onyour motherboard.

On boot up your computer will recognize that the hardware configuration has changed and will enter its bios in order for you to rectify the situation.

Once in you should be able either spot the setting page simply by ” change boot order sequence” , or find a setting in the bios settings.   Failing that hunt around diligently under the hood.  Simpler on some computer bios models – there may be an additional keystroke choice simply marked “change boot order sequence”
