One thing: If you're machine won't boot from the CD, you probably won't have your motherboard manual. The most common ways to enter motherboard setup are by pressing DEL or F1 when you first turn on the computer, moving to a menu and setting up CDROM as the first boot device.

Yeah, it's not letting her install Windows XP form the disk. She may have to do that motherboard F1/DEL thing. Thanks, we'll give it a whirl. Peace.

'Enter Motherboard setup' is also mor commonly known as 'entering the bios'
Just be careful what you change in there.
