P7P55D Troubles booting up from CD-ROM

[entity_of_life]

I am trying to install windows into my new computer..only problem is I cannot get the mobo to boot up off the cd rom.
I have gone into bios and set 1st boot device as "atapi cd-rom". When I restart all I get is "Error loading OS" and does not try to boot up from rom.

ANY help would be welcome.

Thanks

I just want to add that I have disabled all other devices for boot up.

Now what I get is

"Reboot and Select proper Boot device or insert Boot media in selected Boot device and press any key"

Still nothing...

HELP???

I will let you in on what I discovered...if any of you have this problem...with XP and this MOBO.

You require a install disc for xp that already contains Service pack 2 , from Microsoft.

Peace all...
