No OS, can't boot from cd rom

Hello

I just got a computer and requested no operating system so I could install my own, but it won't boot the disc from the cd rom. Just some info you might want to know the motherboard is an Asus PFP800 SE. Intel Pentium 4. I tried to change the boot order but it didn't matter. In the boot order it didn't even mention a cd-rom, it had three items, one being the floppy, the other two were just numbers and letters. My friend tried a few things and he got it to say "Reboot and select proper boot device.
or Insert Boot Media in selected boot device and press a key"
Before it just had the Asus logo then went to a black screen with a blinking curser.
what do you all think? I'm kind of lost. Thanks much.

Brad
