does new mean NEW or just new to you !
have you removed the case cover to make sure that the cdrom/hard drive is all wired up right .

Are you watching the screen when you power up, and pressing a key when requested in order to boot from the CD?

Most systems do not do so without user intervention, and prompt for it!
