booting from a cd

Hi,
I am trying to boot from a CD using my Windows98 machine. I changed the settings in the BIOS to boot from the CD Drive, but my machine just keeps booting up Windows 98. Any ideas?????

Select CDROM as first boot device in BIOS.
If that doesn’t work than CD you’re using is not bootable.

You need a boot disk which will take you to DOS and enable CD-ROM support.
