Assuming it is a bootable windows disk
When powering on you should see a message saying hit delete to enter setup
goto the heading boot order and be sure that the order is cd hdd floppy then save and exit. Reboot with the cd in the drive and you should be off and running.

Hmmm..... black screen on a new PC. If you switch on the monitor without switching on the CPU you should get a "no signal / no video" message. If you don't contact your PC vendor and tell him you have a DOA (dead on arrival).
