How do I proceed?

Hey Peoplez. Its me again. I got it working but when I started it up it didnt tell me to press F8 or ESC or Delt or anything to get into the Bios. But what it does say is

"Reboot and Select proper boot device. Or insert Boot Media in selected Boot devic and press a key"

Im assuming, since I cant enter the bios too tell it where to boot from, Id just put in the Operating System disc and let it install itself.

When it says "boot media" it means the Operating System right?

Before you see thatReboot and Select proper boot device you should see the bios splash screen but in the event that it doesn't display that as soon as you hear the post beep start pressing the delete key and don't stop untill you see the blue bios screen.
When it says boot madia it is talking about the OS cd. So you could just put the cd in when you power up and see if by default it just loads it.

while you are here, I need to ask, Should I eject the OS disc when it restart my computer so it doesnt reboot from thr media again?

Im watching a video an youtube and they guy says to do that just in case.

IF SO, will it harm the PC? Or effect the OS or anytyhing involving the OS at all?

If you see a screen say insert boot media and press a key then put in the windows cd and press a key.

After installation , yes, you do need to remove the OS Disc. But for the first boot, until the install procedure completes it's first round you need to have it in. The moment the installation process says reboot required, you say yes and eject the disc, but not take it out, since this is windows and it's going to keep needing the disc a few times till it completes the installation.
After it continues to reboot and continues with it's installation process you insert the disc back in, and , again if it asks for a reboot you eject it and reboot wait for the OS to load from the HDD and then insert the disc. This happens around 3 times , after that, you can keep the OS Disc safely away.
