If it will not automatically boot to the CD, watch for the screen showing the F key to change the boot order, or go into the BIOS and change the boot order.
There should be some options to diagnose and repair an un-bootable system.

Is the OS on your laptop Vista?

If so, you should not have installed Fix-It version 6.

The current version of Fix-It is 8.

I suspect that the installer for 6 overwrote a key boot file for Vista. Therefore, you now need to reinstall or recover your Vista installation.

You might try hitting F8 when Windows starts to boot and select last known good configuration.
