If you have the serial, its not piracy so just download a copy of XP.

Insert the CD, reboot, (typically f2) go into the BIOS and set the cd to #1 priority on the boot device, then it will boot from cd, delete the current partition, re-create & quick NTFS format, and install and voila!

well, in order to burn it to a disc, do i have to burn it to a dvd? or or just a regular blank cd?
