You probably need to access the bios and set it to boot from cd/dvd rom drive which ever you have then reboot once that's done it should read the disk and start the process you will have to answer a few questions and then it pretty much is self automated for about 30minutes have some tea love and that should doit did they supply you with the software drivers for your hardware?
do you have a full or upgrade version of xp? if only the upgrade, you need another full version of a previous windows OS to install.
That important what elliot told. Here further instructions: http://www.petri.co.il/install_windows_xp_pro.htm

elliot: Jess, it is quite good. I have also tried help people in my country (Finland) where not all folk talking english but "computer culture" is very high. Hi, off topic, I am here to practicing my poor english, my 3. or 4. language.
