pop the XP disc in and reboot, it should say "press any key to boot from CD..." just press...any key
if it doesnt, when you boot up press F8 or F12 and it should boot to your BIOS screen, find boot options, and change it so it looks like this:
1st: Floppy 3.5
2nd: CD-ROM
3rd: DVD-ROM
4th: Hard drive
save and reboot with disc in tray to install XP

You cannot install XP in ms-dos mode. Sounds like you are using a boot floppy - don't. Boot from the CD. If it is not bootable then you have a pirated copy.

Make sure your computers bios is set to boot from the cd, put in your disk, and boot from it, and go from there!
