How do I boot from a CD?

I put a CD with Ubuntu on it in my laptop, then turn off and turn on my laptop. As it stars up, I hit the "f" buttons, and it does not bring up the bios menu I was expecting in order to boot from the CD. I tried holding the function (fn) button and hitting f1, f2, all the way to f12. I tried hitting escape, and delete. Nothing keeps it from just starting up in Windows 8 like usual. What do I do to boot from the CD?

With it having a UEFI Bios you will have to press the ESC key first to pause the boot, then you will get a list of boot options.

Ok, when I boot without CD in drive, it starts as a black screen with the hp logo in the center. Below that, a collection of small white dots travel in a circle in a way that says "thinking...", then the screen turns bluish purple, and in the center of the screen, it says "Please wait", and the same white dots run in a little circle. A moment later, my login screen appears. I enter the password, and it goes to windows. Holding escape, delete, or fn f2 does not alter this.
