okay, so I burned this ISO on a dvd as a bootable through nero. I used a guide so I guess I did everything right there(I am a massive computer newbie by the way). Anyway, I restart my pc with the disk in the drive and it starts booting and stuff then in like 5-8 seconds it stops at "[DR-DOS] A:/>" and a thingy is flashing like wanting me to write something, but I cannot press ANYTHING. I just ended up taking the disc out and coming here. So, what might be the problem here?

"so I burned this ISO on a dvd as a bootable through nero".
Don't use the Make a bootable disk option in Nero, use the Burn an Image option. If the iso is bootable, then so will be your disk.

hi,
I think your system is not going to boot with your cd drive, change prefference to cd drive boot (1st boot device) or restart pc and press F10 to select your prefference to cd. more suggestions for the same can be find here.

Based on your post you are trying to boot an image of Windows XP. Just burn the ISO to a disk using the "Burn Image to Disk" and not with the "Make it boot-able" option from Nero. Nero is adding DR DOS to the disk to make it boot-able and a Win XP ISO is already boot-able,
