You have to go into the Bios Settings and make the CDRom the first boot
device and the hard drive the second boot device.
.. After you set it to the cdrom watch the screen as you may have to hit a
key to boot from the cd.

Simply boot from the WinXP installation CD. You'll be offered the
opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part of the
installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order of boot
devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)
