So all I have to do in BIOS is tell the PC to recognize the DVD-Rom so I can install XP than?
In most cases, no. The DVD drive will be the only bootable device so it should run XP just by inserting the disc.

Once the setup files load onto the hard drive after the formating, it should default to the hard drive. (since its bootable)
