Set your computer BIOS to boot from the CD (if it's not already set
that way)

Insert the CD, turn your computer on .....

I don't want a repair install, I want a clean install, as though I was
going to a new computer.

The way software gets installed these days makes me scared to buy a
new computer. I have software that I downloaded, tried, purchased,
upgraded, purchased again (with new serial number), then decided not
to upgrade again. The old downloads are no longer available. I want
to transfer my existing programs, complete with registry settings, to
my new computer.
