Just load the disk into your CD Rom and reboot the computer. Boot to the CD Rom first instead of your hard drive or floppy. The WIndows XP disk will then load and walk you through the rest.

Put the Windows CD in and make sure you boot from it. You will see a blue screen. Wait till it asks you to do stuff. Then press enter. Then F8. Then choose the partition you want to install in. Make sure you choose NTFS when it asks you the file system. Then follow the rest of the instructions.
