Angry Fire Disk Boot Failure

I was in the middle of a reformat and reinstall of windows xp when my computer went down. I didn't think it would be a big deal, I would just format and do it again. I can't. I get a message of Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk And Press Enter. I have the windows cd in the drive and the 1 devise to boot from is the cd drive but it does not start the cd. I have tried floppy startup disks but those don't work. I don't know what to do. Please help.

Thanks

Are you using a legit version of XP, not a copy?
