Sounds like you have an upgrade disk rather than a complete os disk. If this is the case then you are screwed. Try to get a full disk from ebay.

install a older os first. then just upgrade it

i think you might need to get windows 98 and then run an xp installtion after 98 has installed, i belive 98 is the last windows that installed from msdos.
