How to load Windows 8 into my brand new Lenovo laptop?

I got a Lenovo Ideapad GS510p. It's brand new and in a factory working state. No OS is installed. They have, however given a CD that allows me to install Windows 8.

To get it to start though, I must make the computer boot from CD drive. I pressed the NOVO button and managed to select the Boot from CD option in the boot menu but after I select the option the same screen as before comes.

It's a sort of DOS screen that tells me the date and asks me to enter the current date (which happens to be the same). So, I just click enter. And, then another line comes telling me the time and asks me to enter the current time. It's the same again so I just hit enter. After that. ;/" appears and every time I hit enter andother one of those appears.

I don't know how to get out of this screen and let it boot from disk. Can anyone please help me how to boot it from disk and load the OPerating System?

Oh dear that is your mistake. There's no longer dos operating system within the windows family. That died out at the end of the last century. These days microsoft uses NTFS which can deal with hard drives of infintely hard sizes than a fat32 could.
so the first thing the operating system will do is format the hard drive with a NTFS format. Then load the operating system.
strange as most laptops come with a hidden partition which has windows in it and factory sequence of alt and F11 to boot it into the main drive areas. So this must be a really cheap laptop absolutely useless for gaming on then.

You MUST use an ORIGINAL WIN 8 disk and not a pirated copy. What you have done is correct so far but seeing as how the DISC isn't bootable it isn't being read at reboot.
(Ignor DR Bearface they know Jack about ANYTHING- prooven here)

Once you have an original bootable disc just restart the laptop with the disc in the drive and it will take you to the setup menu.
