Welcome to HP Forums, 

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips, 

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂 

As I understand you want to know about booting from a CD on your HP notebook,

No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution: 

Did you attempt to change the boot order using BIOS to start the PC using a disc?

Are you trying to install another OS? or repair windows? (Details always help speed up the process).

While you respond to that, here's a few things you need to know:

What is the boot order?

When the computer starts, the system BIOS begins to check a pre-determined list of drives and devices that may contain an operating system such as Windows. The computer can boot an operating system from a hard drive, floppy drive, CD or DVD optical drive, USB storage device, or a network. The order in which the devices are checked is configurable through the BIOS setup menu.

What is the default boot order?

The default boot order settings for the computer are configured in the factory. The default boot order for HP notebook PCs is listed below.

1. Floppy disk drive

2. Optical drive (DVD, CD-ROM)

3. Hard drive

4. USB device

5. Network adapter

   NOTE:

An operating system not found error message may appear if a floppy disk or an optical disk is inserted into a computer that does not contain an operating system. If this error occurs, remove the disk and restart the computer.

If you have installed a second hard drive and the computer does not boot, please select the hard drive which contains the operating system as first boot device in the hard drive group.
