XP CD as install disk comes with preloaded drivers wich are used to get the computer up and running.
After install is completed it is recommended going to manufacturers website and downloading latest drivers and installing them. To install XP you enter BIOS/Setup and set first boot decice to CD rom put in XP install disk save and exit. Then follow this link:How to partition and format a hard disk in Windows XP
