Default Need Help!!!!

Right now i have my computer built but dont have the OS in it yet. My dad bought a gateway laptop and with it came an OS Disk. It is windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Now when i go to install it, it says that i need to put the OS disk into the drive but it is in there. Could it be the dive its self or do i need another disk?

Thnx Pyro
