If you're intending to install Windows it might be a good idea to set the CD drive as the bootable drive in the BIOS and put the windows CD in that drive. Hopefully the autoplay will cut in and allow you to install Windows.

Might also be a good idea to set the BIOS setup to 'auto' so that the motherboard 'reads' what is installed and sets up accordingly.
