trouble installing operating system on mini dell 910

I am having trouble with my dell mini laptop insiron 910 i Think it might have something to do with the bios it will not let me reinstall windows xp I bought a dvd-cd usb and it only lets me goes to a certain point then says there is not enough room when I try to start it up it goes through all kinds of media errors and other things and says no oprating system installed it wont let me use the restore disc any suggestions i think it would cost more for me to take it somewhere than it is worth I am sorry about the trouble I had posting earlier this is my first time on here

    First thing:  F12 at powerup.  Boot to the Dell diagnostics and run an extended test on the solid state drive.
