You must set your system BIOS to boot from the XP install CD. Do that,
stick the CD in the CD drive and reboot.

Hi,

Instead of reformatting, remove the existing installation partition, then
create a new one from the free space. Then format and run setup.

Your XP CD disk may be dirty or damaged, so inspect and

clean it. It is also possible to have faulty RAM cause
this as well, so boot to a utility CD or a floppy to run
a diagnostic test on the memory.
