First off, why do you think your XP installation is "defective"? Reinstalling
the XP should be done as a last resort.
That said, the reason you're getting that error message is twofold. First, your
XP installation CD is at a lower service pack level than your current
installation. If you've had this computer for several years then your XP
installation CD probably only contains Service Pack 1. Your computer most likely
has been updated to Service Pack 2. The second reason why you're getting that
message is because you're trying to start the installation while XP is running.
That's going to be a problem.
If you want to wipe out your current installation and install a new copy of XP,
you need to boot your computer from the XP CD. That will allow you to format the
partition where XP resides. How you boot from your XP CD depends on your system.
It's now time for you to do a little research. Start here;

Hello!
To anyone who could help me.
I think that the Windows XP on my personnal computer in defective. Therefore
I would like to reload it.
The actual Windows XP has ben instal by a computer seller. I own the disk
with the regular licence.
To repaired Windows XP I tried to reload it by using this disk. A message
occured saying that it cannot do it because the version in the computer is
higher than the one in the disk. I guess that the compute seller has loaded
Windows XP via Internet from Microsoft.
I could not find a Microsoft site to download the same version, or any
version. All what I found are update version but I could not reloaded the
whole Windows.
Many thanks to whom may help me.
It''me.
