Just plug everything in the way it should be, and then put your XP disc in. Go into the BIOS and put your primary boot device as your CD/DVD-ROM, and then when prompted to "hit any key to boot from CD" do so. Let XP do whatever it does, and then delete all partitions and create new ones, then do a full format (not a quick) and then it will install XP.
