it sounds like the computer is not reading the cd-rom first or at all
This could happen if you altered the boot order of the PC so that the harddrive was the first boot device.
Drop into BIOS and check to see that the CD-ROM is first.

I'm sorry, but I am obviously a newbie at this more-indepth stuff. How do I go into BIOS and change the system so that it will check the CD-ROM first?

when you first start your computer, you should see a splash screen along with a "press XXX to enter setup"
That is what you want
Usually DEL, f1, f2, or f10, though there are other variations

When I start the computer up all I see is: "No operating system," there aren't any options to do something at all.

Yes, there is a screen that says Sony briefly before it says "No operating system." I tap DEL, f1, f2, or f10 while that screen is there if I understand right.
