Change it back afterwards to c: only, it'll make it boot up slightly quicker as its not checking other devices on boot.

You might have to change the boot order in the bios.

When your PC reboots press whichever key takes you into the bios. Then look for the section which lists the boot order. Change it so that ATAPI CD-ROM is first, then save and reboot with the CD in.
