Cant BOOT HELP PLZ

I am trying to reformat my comp. I tried with QuickRestore CDs. They didnt
work. I tried with XP CD. It just says that the version on the computer is
newer then the version i am trying to install. It tells me to boot with the
CD. So i turn off the comp. Press F2. I put the CD-Rom as the first Boot
device. Then i press F10 to save and exit. Xp then loads as normal. I then
restart. and it loads as normal again.
My question is how do i boot!???????? And How do i start my comp from
scratch again. i am apperantly not doing it right. Thanks for the help.
