The computer has more brain than you and won't let you install a dead operating system on it.

open Bios by pressign DEL on startup.

find boot sequance, and change to CD/DVD rom drive as first bood device, and Hard drive as second

put in the XP cd and save and exit from the bios.

press the indicated key to boot from the disc.

once loaded, format the hard drive, and install XP.
