You must set your BIOS so that it uses the CD drive as its primary boot
device.

how to change that, master?

I assume you want to know how to change the BIOS boot order. If so then you
must reboot your machine and immediately press the appropriate key in order
to get into the BIOS setup, preferably several times. On old machines this
used to be the Delete key. On newer machines it can be F12, F10 or perhaps
some other function key. If you cannot find it then you must read the manual
that came with your PC.

Once you are in the BIOS setup, look for the menu that deals with the "Boot"
process, then set things so that your CD drive is the primary boot device.

Another option that has been very popular with some BIOS, is a Boot
Menu. This is usually accessed instead of using the hotkey to invoke the
BIOS Setup, use the hotkey (this is often the ESC key) to invoke the
Boot Menu instead. In fact, on the Asus EeePC series, this is the only
option to boot from an USB device (besides optical drives which can be
set in the BIOS). This Gateway ('06 era) laptop also has a Boot Menu as
well.

If you do not have a manual (it is probably a good library addition)
get an English one here:

http://support.asus.com/download/dow...=P5KPL-AM%20SE

Looks like the Del key gets you into the BIOS.

It will tell you many good things and the boot arrangements are in
section 2.6.

Other languages are available - click the Download link, answer some
questions...

Borrow a friend's WinXP installation CD and check if your machine will boot
with it.
