    What type disc are you using, burned copy or original disc?

    Do you have multiple CD drives?

    Have you checked the CD itself?
    May it be damaged?
    Try to launch it on another PC.

    First, try the other drive, if that doesnt work I would try to locate another disc.

    Are you sure your disc is bootable? I'm assuming this is a legit copy?

    You can do a Repair simply by just autoplaying the CD and selecting Install Windows XP, then follow the prompts.
