To get to the bios you likely have to press f2 or f6 or something. What I usually do is I turn on the machine and i hit multiple f-keys until the bios loads.

Then:

Go into your bios and make sure your hard drive and DVD drive are both detected. Then select the boot order and put the DVD drive first. Then put in your install disk and reboot the computer (make sure to save the bios changes).

Also I highly suggest you use windows 7 instead of xp.
