Re: instalation
the machine should boot from the CD, just set your BIOS to boot from CD

Re: instalation
XP CD's are indeed bootable. If you have an Upgrade version you will need the ME disk or an earlier version of Windows to enable the "Upgrade".

As brain damage said: just boot the XP CD & follow the prompts.

A good guide here:

Every legitimate copy of XP is bootable, where did you hear the CDs aren't bootable?
