I am building a new computer. I plan on installing XP on it. I am a novice builder. I was wondering with XP if I need a system disk to start with. I thought I read where with XP it does not need DOS. I hope this is not a dumb question. Thanks in advance.

In the bios you need to make sure that its primary boot device is set to cd-rom, you can then put the cd in the drive and setup will load from the cd.
