Ah, so that's how they do it. Hmm...little different, but Antec's are supposed to be good cases, so they should know what they're doing. I like my Thermaltake...VERY roomy. I might just keep this tower for a long while.

You should be able to use the windows cd as a boot disc. If your motherboard, memory and video card are physically installed and your hardrive. If you have a backup or second hard drive I would leave it unplugged until you format your main drive and install OS and components.
Been some time and it seems each windows cd used to be just a bit different, but you should be able to set the bios to boot from cd, then install windows cd, POST (Pre Operating System Test) and get to an A:/ It may just give you a list of instructions to follow too, if so it should be self explanitory. If not from the A:/ you should be able to A:/format c: and begin the format process with instructions for formatting, partitioning and how to follow with the OS install.
Still hard to know where u are at cuz u aint givin no info...is it all built? Will it POST?

Like Az said, you'll have to boot from your Win XP CD. You may have to go into your BIOS and tell it to try booting from CD before any other drives... of course this option will have different verbiage depending on flavor of the BIOS heh.
