To install Windows XP in bootcamp, you have to make a copy of it. For some reason, the original disk won't work. To do this, you can simply make a disk image of it while under Mac OSX, then burn it to a blank DVD.

go to disk utility in applications->utilities. Then insert your disc and select it from the menu on the left when it shows up in disc utility.

Then, with the XP install disk still highlighted, select "new image" at the top and save that to your desktop.

Then, after that is done, take out the install disc and insert a blank DVD. In disk utility select "burn" from the top and find the disk image on your desktop and select it.

This will then burn the image to the DVD and you will have a duplicate copy of your original install disk.

Use this disk to install windows with bootcamp assistant which is in the same folder as disk utility in applications->utilities.
