Hi, John.
Why are you using floppies? The WinXP CD-ROM is bootable and has all you
need to install WinXP. Just set your computer's BIOS to boot from the CD.
Then reboot and follow the prompts.
If that doesn't work, tell us the basics about your new computer: make and
model of mobo/CPU/chipset; how many HDs and which interface (IDE, SCSI,
SATA, RAID?); CD/DVD drive(s) description, including interface (IDE, USB,
FireWire?); etc. Are you using a Retail WinXP CD-ROM? If you have an OEM
CD, is it the "generic" version used by many small computer dealers, or is
from one of the "big boys" like Dell, Gateway, HP, etc.?
