Default XP clean install problem

Hi

How are you trying to reinstall XP - booting from the XP CD that you have?
If you have a 'recovery' disk, have a look at the documentation that came
with it. If you reformatted and deleted any hidden partition, you may have
to contact your PC supplier for help.

Recently my harddrive got re-formated and virtually wiped
clean, by me because I wanted to do a clean install of XP. But now I'm
afraid I've done something bad. I try to load XP by using the disc
that came with my computer, I guess it's called the recovery disc. But
when I try to run setup exe. it says this program will not run in dos
mode. How else or you supposed to run it? Any help greatly
appreciated.
