You need to boot off of your Windows installation CD.

Hi Chris
Install XP:
Insert a Windows XP BOOT disk (Most of the disks are BOOT disks) in to you're CD/DVD drive, go into you're BIOS and make you're CDROM you're first BOOT. When windows starts up it will ask you something like this
"Press any key to BOOT from disk...."
do accordingly. from there follow the straightforward prompts

Whats your initial problem.
