So I am helping a friend by giving him a license of windows that I no longer need, and he has an HP G42 running windows 7 64 bit. He has the ISO loaded onto a DVD(not in ISO format, in the format where is has all the files), and we set the boot order in bios so that his DVD player would be first before his hard drive, but when the computer boots, it goes straight into windows 7 rather than loading the CD. can someone please point out any things I may have forgotten/need to do?
Thank you very much in advance!

How did you set up the Installation disk? Usual to Right click the ISO file and choose 'Burn Disk Image' otherwise it won't be bootable...
