To install Windows you should be typing

x:\Setup

where x is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive. To see the drive letter of
the CD-ROM drive watch the startup procedure very carefully - there will be
a message about the drive letter that was assigned.

If the CD is not being installed then try a new boot disk from
www.bootdisk.com. These bootdisks usually use R for the CD-ROM drive
letter.
