How to change the first boot device as the DVD-ROM drive

You need to modify the BIOS settings of your computer to boot first into the DVD-ROM. Now, depending on your chipset and/or motherboard manufacturer, the difficulty can range from extremely to moderately easy.

The firmware is different for varying models. Normally, the instructions are provided in the documentation that comes with your computer. The simplest BIOS firmware would feature a menu selection indicating "BOOT SETTINGS" or something similar.

Simply go through there and make the necessary changes. Save, restart, and you're good to go. Of course, It won't always be like that. If you don't see that you'll have to go through the menus and find something about "BOOT SETTINGS" and do the same. If you need a more specific answer, please do post your PC Model name.
