Exclamation Cant boot XP from cd to downgrade from Ubuntu

Alrite well,
my pc died a while ago so iv been using this laptop i got from a mate
i wiped XP fro it an put Ubuntu on to try that
When i tried to install ubuntu it wouldent boot from cd but eventualy i got it to create a boot entry so it would boot that way.

any way,
I need to put xp back on it because i have hardware thats xp only
but when ever i try to boot from an XP cd it just starts Ubuntu anyway

i have changed the bios settings to start from cd first but that still dosent work

does any body know how to dodge this problem
or maybe do what ubuntu did to get it working?

i have HP Compaq Presario 2100 (amd)
