    Check to make sure your XP disc isn't an upgrade copy. If so, then you won't be able to install it unless Windows 98 or 2000 or ME is on the computer.

    There are some tricks to be able to install anyways. I don't know any of them.

    what do you currently have installed?

    this guide might help.
