is it an iso of a bootable disc? If not, you'll have to either make it bootable yourself or torrent a bootable version. This isn't illegal as long as you use your own product key.

If it is a Retail Key, you can find a legal copy of XP SP3 HERE.
If it is OEM, well, I can't help with that. An OEM key will not work with a Retail disk.
