Answer 1

Check if your machine is configured as "First bootable device: CD-ROM / DVD-ROM"

Next check if your installation disk is bootable or not. If both the settings are true i.e. First booting device: CD-ROM / DVD-ROM and Bootable Windows Disc, then there will be no problem in booting the system from the disc. until and unless your CD-ROM / DVD-ROM is defective.

Answer 3

Grateful enough to buy an XP licence?

Either you haven't set your computer to boot from CD, or else you didn't burn the CD as a bootable image.
