Pretty much, that is what you do. They are bootable CDs, stick it in and reboot.

Oh yea, Welcome to the forum. If you have any more questions on setting up Windows you might want to ask in the software area, those guys will be able to help you more.

The best thing to do is to go into the BIOS and change the boot sequence so that it will boot first from the CD drive, boot to the CD, install windows, and the first time it restarts enter the BIOS again and change the boot sequence back to the default boot sequence. Depending on which windows version you are installing you might have to format the hard drive first (just follow the instructions that came with the hard drive) before installing windows.
