In your BIOS settings you have to set "1st boot from CD" and while rebooting press any key. Then delete all partitions.

burn CD
reboot PC
press F8 F9 F10 F11 F12 or smth right after PC restarted so the Boot menu apppears and choose the CDrom there
Install

all your data on the harddrive volume will be lost btw

The compter is a laptop, yes? Save yourself the trouble and install Windows 7 instead :)

I predict that when the laptop is booted off the XP CD, the setup will say that the hard drive is not found or it will BSOD :O)
