Only if your PC manufacturer set up a boot partition with XP installation
files.

Otherwise you wont have the needed installation files in order to make a XP
installation CD

No, not usually. If it were, your computer would have come with
instructions for doing so.

If it was a retail license and you have proof of purchase:

If it was an OEM license, you should contact the computer's
manufacturer.
