Yes, this is a serious question.
put disk in drive restart computer
when asked to boot from cd hit any key hit any key u want
it will load up it will give u a copple of option select intall window xx (xx is the verison u have)
it will ask u to agree to user agreement hit f8
it will ask u if u want to use the partiotion or delete it or create 1 select delete so delete it by i believe pressing d then enter then l to confirm
then creat a new 1 by pressing c then enter
then select the partition u have just reformated and press enter
select format partition using ntsf press enter and u should be able to figure everything else out byr reading what it says

Just set your bootable drives in the BIOS to point to your DVD drive. Have that on the top of your list and when it asks you to boot from the CD, hit any key.
