The Windows XP CD is bootable, you just put the CD into the CD-ROM and
restart your computer. See this link from my website:
http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org/how_do_i_install_windows_xp.htm
The above is the standard way of loading XP assuming you have a full retail
version of the product. If you have 'upgraded' from another version of
Windows and you have an 'upgrade' version of XP you will need to install the
original operating system first before upgrading again.
If XP came pre-installed on your PC when you purchased it you may have
'recovery' discs. If this is the case check your PC user manual to see how
to re-install from recovery discs.
