Maybe several issues you should check:

 

-The CD-drive is damaged and can't read CDs correctly, try cleaning the drive

 

- The CD itself is damaged and can't be read, try to read it in another PC if possible

 

- The CD you are using is not bootable at all, make sure you are using the "green WinXP" CD that came with your system.
