XP/Linux Fedora 7 Emulation and XP installation

[Deltanoob]

My intention was to Install XP then Linux F7 and use VMware to dualboot.

Well i cannot get XP to even start to install.

I open the XP folder i downloaded and use WINE to start an executable...it works but when i click "Install Windows XP"

Wine just crashes, I think.

Is there a really good emulator out there?

Or is there a way i can force my system to boot from this disc? (i burned a CD-RW and a DVD-RW of this image)

When I place the disc in and restart i get a prompt with the DVD to boot from CD and it does nothing after i press enter.

But when i place the CD in i get no prompt?

Please help
