What do you mean?
You put CD in and you restart computer.
Do you see a message:
Press any key to boot from CD

If you don't see this:
it means, you have to access BIOS and change boot order, so CD drive is listed first.Press any key to boot from CD

You've been doing fine
Did the CD drive work before?
Did you check CD for scratches?
You sure, it's the right CD?

At this point, I'm not sure, what else to tell you.
We can't run any diagnostics, since it won't boot from the CD.
If you have more than one RAM stick, you can try to start the laptop with 1 stick at a time.
