burn the ISOs - make sure you're burning them as an image, and not as a
file - and then boot from it. Make sure you set your bios to boot from
CD first, of course.

If it doesn't boot (IE, skips the CDs and boots directly to windows)
download the bare.i boot disk (I'm assuming you have a standard IDE
interface for your drives, nothing exotic - if not, choose the
appropriate bootdisk - *.i is for ide, *.s is scsi) and then the root
disks, and boot normally.
