More info please. You tried to install Office and you get that message? Did you install Office and then get that message on subsequent reinstall?
Or, are you saying that the Windows XP disc you are using is causing this? If that's the case you need to jump into BIOS and change your boot priority to CD first then HDD.

It sounds as if you have a floppy in the floppy drive and have the bios set to book from the floppy first...

It's all brand new hardware. Just put it together. HDD has nothing on it at all. Very first install. I went into the bIOS and set the CDROOM boot priority to 1 and HDD to 2, and it still says DISK BOOT ERROR. Then i tried pressing F8 when booting up and selecting the CDROM to boot from, and same thing. Do I need to do anything with the jumper on the cdrom or change something else in the BIOS for brand new stuff?

Check the jumper setting on the CD drive. Makes sure it is set as the "Master". Screw Cable Select, I've had more problems with that...

You should have burned the disk as an ISO/image, not as a bootable disk.
If you're using Nero, you go to Recorder -> Burn Image.
