I have no experience with Dell. But, ususally when the comp boots to the Xp cd it will ask you to press a key to boot to the cd. Are you getting that? if not maybe try pressing any key . Also, try cleaning the cd. Use a clean cloth and wipe from the centre out to the edge.
If this works please note do not press the key on the second part of the installation.
