I have a suggestion for you, instead of posting basic questions all over
Usenet: Buy an introductory level book on Windows XP. Here's one that's
reliable and straightforward:

"Microsoft® Windows XP Plain & Simple, Second Edition"
http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/7484.asp

And here's the most important advice you can have right now:

"Protect Your PC"
www.microsoft.com/protect

Until you gain more experience with Windows, stick to the straight and
narrow, and don't do anything that you don't completely understand.

The Windows XP CD is a boot disk. No need to create one.
====================
But Sharon said FIRST we need to make a change in the BIOS. How is that
done? Where is the BIOS and how is it changed? And what about those of
us who bought our PCs with WXP already installed? Are those disks from
the PC mfg bootable as well?
