If you have saved a copy of XP on your hard drive simply open it up in Explorer and find "Setup.exe" and click it. It will start to load itself. Continue as if you were installing from a CD.

Hope that helps. It works for me.

Installing Windows XP on a computer that is not currently running Windows?
Follow these steps:
a. Insert a Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me) or Microsoft Windows 98 Startup disk in the floppy disk drive, and then restart the computer.
b. Insert the Windows XP CD in the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
c. Type xcopy CD-DriveLetter\I386\*.* c:\i386\*.* /s /e, and then press ENTER. For example, if your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is designated as d:, type d:\I386\*.* c:\i386\*.* /s /e.
Note Because of the size of the I386 folder, this process may take few minutes.
d. Type c:\i386\winnt.exe, and then press ENTER
