Stupid Computer Building Question

After all the parts are put together, how do I install the OS? I just stick in the Windows CD and should it give me a choice to boot from the CD? Or do I need a boot disk?

Thanks
 
I assume your installing windows xp. If so, you first have to go into the bios and set it to boot from the cdrom. Save, reboot, then it will say "press any key to boot from cdrom"...hit a key, then it starts loading!! then you do the service pack, chipset drivers, etc and you have a happy new formatted computer!
 
your cd will be your boot disk, just make sure your boot drive is the CD drive... everything else the CD will walk you through
